ISSUE OF COMPASSION
=09
It is so refreshing to see a courageous physician like Dr. Joseph
Rosado take a public stand on behalf of medical marijuana (column,
June 1). I know that many other health care clinicians agree with him.

What Alachua County Sheriff Sadie Darnell wrote in her May 25 column
is misleading. She should be ashamed.

It is tragic that so many people who could benefit from medical
marijuana have the least access to it. This is truly an issue of
compassion =C3=A2=C2=80" to lighten the burden of chronic, debilitating,
painful, crushing illnesses suffered so often by the elderly.

Republicans and Democrats should join together to vote yes on
Amendment 2. Floridians will be much better for it.

Please remember in November to be compassionate. Vote yes on Amendment
2.
