GOD BLESS THE DOCTORS This is in response to the Feb. 13 letter, "No scientific evidence of pot's benefits." First, if there are no benefits why is it in pill form and has been for the last 25 years? Since my face is the picture the letter writer saw in such distress, I ask her to go to her local hospice office and cancer ward and ask them herself, as that may be the only way to change her prejudices. As to the doctors, I'll tell you about the doctor who wrote my prescription: He bravely prescribed marijuana to me in 1995. He has been hounded by the DEA and had his practice and freedom threatened. He is one of the most-informed doctors on marijuana in this country. He has studied this issue for 40 years. He was one of the doctors who put together the presidential report on marijuana for President Nixon in 1972-73. I'm sure if it wasn't for the DEA the number of doctors stepping forward would be tenfold. God bless the brave doctors who risk their all so some can have comfort for a little while.
