GETTING THE STORY STRAIGHT ON MEDICAL MARIJUANA

I want to thank the Tribune for finally presenting  well-researched, 
factual information about the lack of  medical research supporting 
marijuana as medicine. The  public has been misled about the 
potential medical uses  of marijuana and they need to know the truth. 
Your article will help counter the significant amount 
of  misinformation being distributed about this drug. I  hope that 
more media will follow your example and dig  deeper into the facts 
about marijuana from reliable  sources before Illinois slides down 
the slippery slope  of marijuana legalization.
