WASSERMAN SCHULTZ ONLY LOOKING OUT FOR US

Regarding the June 11 Today's Buzz question, "Will Debbie Wasserman 
Schultz' stand on medical marijuana hurt Democrats?"

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?
