MEDICAL MARIJUANA: D. C. VOTERS HAVE SPOKEN

Obviously, the voters of Washington, D. C., did not know what they were
doing when 69% voted to legalize marijuana for medical use ("D.C. voters,
Congress clash over medical marijuana law," News, Tuesday).

Obviously, lawmakers cannot allow adult citizens to make their own
decisions as to which herbs or drugs to use. Otherwise, it would send the
wrong message to children: that the Constitution and Bill of Rights really
mean what they say.

Obviously, the signers of the Declaration of Independence did not know what
they were doing when they declared the right to "life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness" is "inalienable" and "self-evident."

Obviously, they should have added an exclusion for herbs and drugs that can
harm nobody except the users themselves.
