CITIZENS SHOULD CONTROL THEIR OWN HEALTH

The Collegiate Times is negligent in getting facts correct in the
article, "Marijuana is not the only pain reliever," (CT, Feb. 21)
concerning the recent lawsuit filed by Americans for Safe Access over
medical patient use of cannabis. The Data Quality Act requires the
government to correct its own misstatements. The assertion that
marijuana has no medical value has been historically discredited, as
patently false and federal authorities should be stopped from pushing
that propaganda.

Further, citizens should be allowed to choose which pain remedy they
use, not the government, especially when cannabis is safer than any
other pain medication available to humans. It seems the author is
more interested in furthering government cannabis prohibition
propaganda than getting facts correct.

Truthfully,
