WHAT DID WE FIGHT FOR?

Proposition 215 was passed by a majority of the citizens of this great State.

The purpose of this letter is to inform the citizens as to what the law
enforcement officials are doing to the people who need medicinal help by
smoking marijuana. After passing Prop. 215, private citizens are still
being harassed, their homes are being invaded and their personal belongings
- - including cash, passports, bank records and computers - are being
confiscated on the pretense that these people are growing marijuana for
profit rather than for their personal medicinal use.

I voted for 215 simply because I feel that if the use of marijuana
alleviates the pain and suffering of patients, I am all for it.

Naturally, the manufacture of hard drugs and the sale of the same justifies
legal prosecution, but certainly not in the case of the people who owe
their lives to the accessibility of marijuana.

Being a World War II veteran with seven Battle Stars, two Air Medals and
being one of 38 crew men to return out of 140 men, I often wonder what the
men who did not return would think to see the homes of private citizens
being invaded like the Nazis did in Germany during World War II.
