RECONSIDER MARIJUANA DECISION

Re "Anniston man finds one state's medicine is another's illicit drug"
(News article, Aug. 18):

It is inhumane to not allow a person access to medicine he needs and
has been prescribed by his doctor. Marijuana is one of the
safest-known herbs with the most beneficial effects known to man, and
this statement has been proved time and time again through extensive
research and studies conducted by well-respected scientists and doctors.

What right does anyone have, no matter their position in local, state
or federal government, to incarcerate someone for medicating himself
the best way his doctor sees fit?

He wasn't harming a soul, so leave him alone, give him his medicine
back and let him go on about his day. Please reconsider the decision
you have chosen with this case and others like it for the betterment
of his and everyone else's life.
