MARIJUANA HELPED DYING FRIEND

I'm writing about Dan Linn's thoughtful letter: "State group backs
medical marijuana" (8/5/10).

A couple years ago I had a very close personal friend die from
pancreatic cancer after a nine-month battle with this terrible
disease. Marijuana did not cure her cancer. However, it make her much
more comfortable and able to tolerate her other medications without
vomiting.

Would those opposed to legalizing marijuana for medical purposes
prefer to have this wonderful mother and grandmother die alone in a
jail cell instead of surrounded by her loving family?

It appears so.
