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?
