LAW HAS WORKED WELL IN COLORADO

As a Christian, who helped pass Proposal 1, I found myself shaking my
head all through "Legalized marijuana stirs questions, concerns"
(Dec. 10); it read like the sky was about to fall in. Colorado
legalized medical cannabis (marijuana) use and it has worked
properly, protecting sick citizens from confrontation with government.

The questions I have for these skeptical physicians is, if a sick
person is helped by using cannabis, should they be put in a cage?

Is Dr. Corbett Amburgey certain smoking cannabis long term has been
associated with the same diseases as cigarette smoking? Cigarettes
are responsible for over 1,000 deaths daily while there are no dead
bodies to show cannabis caused a single similar death in over 5,000
years of documented usage. That's safety on a biblical scale.

Dr. Stephen Smiley's mention of "Good God..." left me disappointed.
Christ God Our Father, My Father, is less interested in why you would
not "prescribe" cannabis and more interested in stopping government
from caging responsible sick citizens who use the God-given plant.

Finally I ask, will the Battle Creek Enquirer also print viewpoints
from several local physicians who do think cannabis may be better
than conventional medications in some situations?
