PRO MEDICINE 1

Thank you for coverage of the medical cannabis issue, ( "The right to feel better," Oct.  18 ).  It was discomforting witnessing my 17-year-old dying with cancer, allowed to self-induce morphine every six minutes for pain, denied cannabis use.  As government stats indicate, one out of four citizens will confront cancer, which translates to every American family.  This issue is crucial. 

The original prohibition on a national scale was worse than the booze prohibited, and the sequel, now, on an international scale, is worse.  Needless to say, civilized society must stop voting for prohibitionist politicians.  Do cannabis prohibitionists even comprehend that they're admitting a desire to cage humans, even sick humans, for using a plant?

Thank Christ God, Our Father for cannabis.  Accept cannabis ( known as kaneh bosm, before the King James Version ) for what it is as described on literally the very first page of the Bible ( Genesis 1:11-12 and 29-30 ).
