HOMELESS SHELTER EDITORIAL THOUGHTFUL, CARTOON NOT SO MUCH

Dear editor,

I take great offense at the Under the Glacier cartoon published March
9.

How pathetic, insensitive and ignorant on the part of the cartoonist.
He or she should shed their disrespectful attitude and educate
themselves about medical marijuana and people who require it.

They can start with your thoughtful, Only Pharmacy in Town editorial
of March 4.

If we could take legal medications, we would. I can't think of anyone
in the club who enjoys the thought that at any given moment they could
be arrested and face imprisonment for using medications, unapproved by
the government, just to reduce the pain enough to resume everyday living.

Dolly Smith,

Comox Valley
