REEFER SANITY

Just as the government has no right to dictate what  foods we ingest
or what books we read, it should have  no right to dictate what drugs
we take so long as we do  not violate the rights of others ("Rep.
Frank defends  proposal to decriminalize marijuana," March 23).

And in the case of people with terminal diseases,  forcefully
preventing them from using drugs that might  alleviate their pain is
unconscionably immoral.
