WE CAN FIND COMMON GROUND ON MEDICAL MARIJUANA ISSUE

Thank you for the clear and unequivocal Chicago Sun-Times editorial
page endorsement of medical marijuana and pointing out in Obama
fashion that there is much common ground that we can all agree on,
regardless of our political leanings. Recounting why every person of
every political stripe should be happy with the U.S. Justice
Department's decision to ease up on prosecutions for the medical use
of marijuana, I learned that there is some conservative, libertarian,
liberal and Cheech and Chong political philosophy running through my
veins, because I agree with all your cited reasons. The Rx smoking
lamp is less fearfully lit, and the brownies are baking in the oven.
