MEDICINAL POT SMOKER RESPONDS

Re: The True Meaning Of The Poppy (II), letter to the editor, Nov. 5.

The point of my letter was to examine the issue of the so-called
"freedoms" we have and how they are arbitrarily dished out to us by
our government. It was not a botanical comparison.

As for the snide comment about "inhaling," how nice of your letter
writer to insult a disabled person who uses marijuana legally. And how
nice of the Post letters editor to publish it; he likely would not
have published a letter insulting some other disabled person.

Sadly, medical pot users are still fair game for public ridicule and
discrimination
