ADULTS SHOULD BE FREE TO USE CANNABIS

I'm writing about the thoughtful column by Georgette Braun, "Belvidere
woman seeks guidance from educators, " Oct. 11. It seems to me that
all Illinois adults should have the freedom of choice to use cannabis
a=C2=80" not just those who need it to treat disease.

Cannabis not only relieves pain and suffering, but it also prevents
many diseases such as cancer and Alzheimer's. Cannabis is one of the
most powerful anti-inflammatory substances on the planet, and chronic
inflammation is the root cause of most diseases of the human body.

I strongly urge the readers to read: a=C2=80=C2=9CThe Pot Book: A Complet
e Guide to
Cannabis: Its role in Medicine, Politics, Science and Culture." It is
edited by Julie Holland, M.D.
