The homeowners associations have no business and no right intruding on the freedoms of the people who own their property. And they have no right to prevent someone from using their medication, no matter what the medication is. Did you complain this bitterly of someone smoking cigarettes in their own backyards? - - Pat Hanson, Mesa - --- MAP posted-by: Matt
