MARIJUANA HAS HELPED MILLIONS

To the editor:

Re: 'Marijuana legalization would be ill-advised', letter to the 
editor, durhamregion.com, May 8, 2014.

The letter writer is seriously mistaken claiming (cannabis) marijuana 
can cause lung and other cancers since there is not one single dead 
body to prove it in over 5,000 years of documented use.

It's just the opposite, in fact. Worldwide, cannabis has been proven 
to shrink some cancerous tumors, help get rid of other cancers and 
keep some cancers from forming. The beneficial God-given plant has 
even helped millions of citizens who have who have had to face cancer 
deal with nausea, appetite and pain.

A sane or moral argument to continue caging responsible adults who 
use cannabis doesn't exist.
