DRUG INDUSTRY IS THE ONE OPPOSED TO POT

Regarding your May 10 story ('Montel Williams opens up about medicinal 
marijuana'), I believe Williams is wrong when he says that the Bush 
administration is opposed to medicinal marijuana because it believes the 
garbage about how it doesn't work.

The Bush administration and the drug war cheerleaders are opposed to 
medicinal marijuana because they know that the pharmaceutical industry 
doesn't want this easy-to-grow herb replacing its very expensive and 
patented medications.

The Bush administration people know how much money the pharmaceutical 
industry has donated to the Republican party and Republican candidates.

After all, the drug companies are not in business for anybody's health, but 
rather to make money.
