MARIJUANA LAW CRUEL ON PATIENTS; FLORIDA SHOULD ALLOW MEDICAL USE
Re: Feb. 26 article about Manatee deputies seizing marijuana plants
at disabled woman's home:
When I picked up the Bradenton Herald I thought the Manatee sheriff
had lost his mind. How else could he suddenly decide that a woman he
has allowed to smoke openly for many years now endangers public
safety. She has been telling anyone who would listen how cannabis
relaxes her muscle spasms so she can swallow.
About 10 years ago she told me how she confronted Gov. Jeb Bush in a
parking lot in Tallahassee with "Why am I not allowed to have my medicine?"
But she was.
Marijuana prohibition is a useless, cruel policy, and it must change.
When it does, credit will go to brave patients like Cathy Jordan.
