PRO & CON: MEDICAL MARIJUANA IN NEW YORK

We asked our readers: Should the state legalize medical use of marijuana? Here are your opinions:

Geoff Corey, Chenango Bridge

Marijuana should most definitely be legalized for medical use.  It has been proven in many studies that it can prolong life for elderly citizens suffering certain terminal illnesses.  For politicians to say that they truly care about our senior citizens, and then not support this, is hypocrisy.  However, what truly baffles my mind is that alcohol consumption can cause one to become disoriented, get sick, and become addicted and abusive.  Smoking marijuana can cause one to become disoriented.  Wait a minute ...  you're saying alcohol is legal?
