POT CAN BE SALVATION

Roger Anderson's recent op-ed amounted to nothing more than an
uneducated rant from someone who is unwilling to accept reality about
medical marijuana ("Pot law: a scam," Sept. 3).

My father has cancer and is currently undergoing chemotherapy.

Fortunately, his physician recommended the use of legal medical
marijuana because it is the only thing that works to reduce nausea and
stimulate his appetite. My dad's story is close to my heart but not at
all uncommon.

Many oncologists recommend medical marijuana.

Fortunately for my father and so many others, the medical community is
smart enough to look past the lies of the movie "Reefer Madness," lies
also propagated by people like Anderson.
