TORRANCE MARIJUANA DISPENSARIES ISSUE

Congress members are not medical doctors or scientists. They should
stop kidding us and themselves when they insist that they know more
than these professionals. If a doctor feels something is beneficial
for his patient or researchers need certain disposable cells to
experiment with, Congress should not prevent it by inventing or using
a ban to force their morals down everyone else's throats.

Hopefully, Torrance's City Council is smart enough to allow doctors
- -- and not politicians -- to treat the illnesses of their constituents.
