SELF-MEDICATION SHOULD BE A RIGHT

I am extremely disappointed that the East Valley Tribune would oppose
Prop. 203, the medical marijuana initiative. I thought the Tribune was
pro freedom. Apparently I was wrong.

Prop. 203 is substantially different from the medical marijuana laws
in California, Colorado and Montana. If people are opposed to the use
of marijuana for medical reasons, they should not use it. But don't
dictate to me what I may put into my own body in the privacy of my own
home.

It seems to me that the right to self-medicate should be a fundamental
right. Apparently the East Valley Tribune disagrees.
