MEDICAL MARIJUANA
BENEFITS OUTWEIGH HARM
On March 17, the National Academy of Science's Institute of Medicine
reported a ground-breaking study that concluded that everything our
government has been telling us about marijuana since 1937 has been a lie.
It does not lead to harder drugs, is not addictive, and has proven
medicinal value that certainly outweighs any side effects. It's time for
the Clinton administration to stop interfering with a doctor's right to
recommend this herb and a patient's right to seek amelioration of his or
her problem.
