I believe Congresswoman Wasserman Schultz is speaking with her heart and mind, as a representative of the people, a mother and cancer survivor when she states "the use of marijuana as a medical treatment should be handled responsibly and in a regulated manner that ensures its approval does not do more harm than good." One must read the reports from the National Institute on Drug Abuse to recognize the dangers of using marijuana when you are young - and older, for a long term. Surely medical marijuana, which is used to allegedly treat the young, can have a toxic and damaging affect over time. The congresswoman is looking at the need for safety for all. How can this hurt anyone? Martin Cohen, Tamarac - --- MAP posted-by: Jay Bergstrom
