LEGALIZE MARIJUANA FOR THE ILL

I'm shocked to read (Oct. 2) that Gov. John Kitzhaber will not support the
medical use of marijuana [with Measure 67]. As a doctor, he has taken an
oath to "prescribe regimen for the good of my patients according to my
ability and judgement and never do harm to anyone".

Dying and suffering patients should not be arrested when they use marijuana
as medicine.  (By not supporting Measure 67,) Kitzhaber thinks that
patients should be arrested for using marijuana as medicine. Shame on him.
