FRANK STANCE OFFERS NO RELIEF TO SICK
I'm writing about Katy O'Grady's story: "Pro-medical marijuana group
targets congressman" ( 8-27-04 ). Apparently Rep. Trent Franks ( R-AZ )
thinks cancer patients and other severely sick and dying patients
should die in a federal prison cell instead of receiving much needed
relief from medical marijuana.
Since the annual obesity-vs-marijuana kill ratio is about 400,000 to
zero, perhaps Congressman Franks can tell us which obesity-causing
foods we should criminalize first.
If our government can arrest and jail us for using the wrong
( politically selected ) natural herbs and medicines, it can also arrest
and jail us for eating the wrong ( politically selected ) foods.
