WOULD YOU WANT A DOC ON MARIJUANA OPERATING?

To the Editor:

I am responding to Dr. Gene Tinelli's Dec. 31 letter regarding marijuana.

Would you want a brain surgeon or any surgeon to operate on you while 
high on the drug? How about your dentist, your lawyer defending you 
in court, the judge making serious decisions concerning your life, 
teachers teaching your children, school bus drivers, accountant 
handling your money, bank tellers, nurses, contractors, electricians 
and plumbers working on your home, police and firefighters? The list 
goes on and on.

On the other hand, medical use of marijuana to alleviate serious pain 
would certainly benefit mankind.
