MEDICAL MARIJUANA IS ALL SOME HAVE

Re: York gives prof. place to toke up, Nov. 3.

Shame on the Toronto Star for its attitude on the use of medicinal
marijuana.

 From the headline "...toke up" to the text of the article " a room to
spark up," your paper treats this issue like a Saturday night frat
house party rather than a medical issue. As a person who suffers from
MS and one who also relies on marijuana to make it through the day, I
am very disappointed with the attitude of the reporter and the editor
who allowed the story.

Medical marijuana is all that some people have to keep them
functioning on even the most basic levels, let alone teaching at York
University. Good for York and good luck to the professor.

Rick Keep,

Lac du Bonnet, Man.
