POT PROSECUTION (1 OF 3)

While our state government cuts and eliminates services that benefit our 
communities, District Attorney Brian Blanchard is pursuing marijuana cases. 
This is a terrible waste of resources. "This Is My Medicine" (4/24/03) 
discusses one such case against Steve Wessing. Whether or not Mr. Wessing 
is using marijuana for medical reasons, or if he has two ounces or a closet 
full, has very little (if any) effect on the rest of the community. In 
fact, there are many people in Madison like Mr. Wessing who use marijuana. 
Why does this matter?
