LEGALIZATION OF MARIJUANA WILL END GOVERNMENT EXTORTION

Dear Editor:

I sincerely relate to Carol Pierce's testimony (Letter: Medical
marijuana is a beneficial option for sufferers, Sept. 29, 2010)
concerning access to cannabis (marijuana) for sick citizens. My son
endured leukemia cancer in 1997, and to be denied any information about
how cannabis might help ease excruciating pain made me very angry and
led to becoming a cannabis activist.

Sophisticated citizens using the computer will find out how
unmercifully government has withheld such an important beneficial
God-given plant. What sick citizens must do in order to obtain and use
cannabis amounts to government subsidized extortion and it will end
once cannabis is completely RE-legalized. Every facet of cannabis
prohibition has been a harmful and embarrassing segment of American
history.

Ending cannabis prohibition and extermination is one of the most
important issues of our time.
