War On Marijuana Has Gone On Too Long; Support Reforms
Editor, The Times:
As a concerned citizen, I worry about scarce city, state and federal resources being wasted on tracking down patients who use marijuana for medicinal purposes.
Certainly, we should be more concerned about finding lost children, catching a rapist, providing for the homeless and maintaining our environment and infrastructure.
The smoking of marijuana for successful treatment and relief of chemotherapy, glaucoma, multiple sclerosis, spasticity and hyperparathyroidism has been recognized and endorsed by the american medical association.
The war on marijuana has gone on long enough and has cost us more than we can afford. Let's put a stop to government waste. Support marijuana-law reforms.
