Jailed for Medicine

ALABAMA CAN DO BETTER

Re "Ashamed of government" (Speak Out, Sept. 17), and "Anniston man 
finds one state's medicine is another's illicit drug" (News article, Aug. 18):

Many people in America believe Alabama is a backwards-thinking state, 
but somehow I have confidence in believing Alabama residents know the 
difference between what's right and wrong and strive to live accordingly.

Caging a sick human for using what God indicates He created and says 
is good on literally the very first page of the Bible is wrong. 
Alabama should move quickly to make a medical exemption for Michael 
Lapihuska and other sick citizens who choose to use the God-given 
plant cannabis (marijuana) in order to protect them from overzealous 
government. Our goal should be to love one another, and it's 
ultimately the right thing to do.
