MEDICAL MARIJUANA, NOT 'SELLING POT'

As a person affected by a rare neuromuscular disorder, I took offense 
at the headline "21 Seek Chance To Sell Pot" [Dec. 2, Page 1]. It was 
a poor choice of words, suggesting a picture of street thugs selling 
to recreational dopeheads rather than legitimate professionals 
providing a legal medication to patients.

The headline was demeaning to those who have exhausted all other 
options seeking to get some measure of relief from the pain or 
spasticity they constantly endure from their diseases. Let's stick 
with the compassionate, respectful, scientifically correct 
designation "medical marijuana" -- please!
