Thank you for "Drug Queenpin or Innocent Victim?" [December]. I'm
horrified that our government would spend so much time and money to
ruthlessly pursue and harass Renee Boje for merely helping with the
illustrations for a book called How to Grow Medical Marijuana. She's
obviously guilty of nothing more than being good-hearted and
artistically talented.

I'm equally angry at drug czar Barry R. McCaffrey, who expressed
contempt for the will of the voters in states that have legalized
marijuana for medical use - including Boje's home state of California.
Does he, or anyone, really believe that extraditing her from Canada
and imprisoning her for 10 years will make America safer, keep drugs
away from children or help to destroy the black market for illegal
drugs?
