WHERE WERE THE FACTS?

I read with amusement your front-page article concerning medical
marijuana. After looking carefully, however, I couldn't find any facts
in the report, with the exception of the gray box showing what
illnesses support the use of medical marijuana. What I did find was a
typical law-enforcement philosophy which I believe was put best in the
statement about pulling up plants and asking questions later.

The article entirely misses the point. Medical marijuana is not the
problem. The problem is this bizarre persecution of a substance that
is natural and proven therapeutic. It harkens back to the "good old
days" of Prohibition. Remember how well that worked? -
