GETTING THE STORY STRAIGHT ON MEDICAL MARIJUANA

I want to thank the Tribune for finally presenting well-researched,
factual information about the lack of medical research supporting
marijuana as medicine. The public has been misled about the
potential medical uses of marijuana and they need to know the truth.
Your article will help counter the significant amount
of misinformation being distributed about this drug. I hope that
more media will follow your example and dig deeper into the facts
about marijuana from reliable sources before Illinois slides down
the slippery slope of marijuana legalization.
