ADOPT DIFFERENT STRATEGY TO COMBAT POT USE

I was disappointed in the article, "Caution: Marijuana may not be
lesser evil." It failed to mention the thousands of people worldwide
who get some benefit from smoking marijuana. What about people
suffering from multiple sclerosis, cancer, AIDS and other
debilitating diseases who get some relief by smoking a little bit of pot?

Nobody is advocating that we give marijuana to children, but why are
we incarcerating adults for its use?

It's all very hypocritical.
