Do they realize the sphere of influence this opens up the community to? The message it sends out is, it is OK to use marijuana in a legal place to get high. It has nothing to do with compassion, because the passing pleasure it brings is short-lived, then it is another trip again. There are more than enough prescription drugs on the market to deal with the pain and symptoms. Gloria Burke Grass Valley - --- MAP posted-by: Jo-D
