KEEP MARIJUANA MORALITY TO YOURSELF

Regarding the not-so-thoughtful letter on Tuesday, "Pot measure's OK
hard to believe": I find it hard to believe the writer's assertion
that youth are celebrating the passage of Prop. 203, which allows the
use of medical marijuana. Young people have no problem buying marijuana.

Almost any high school or middle-school student knows where to buy
it. It's older people like myself who have a hard time obtaining it
because the young people who sell it suspect we might be undercover
narcotics officers.

An orthopedic surgeon has told me that I am a prime candidate for
hip-replacement surgery. I'd rather keep my original hips for as long
as possible, and the herbs cannabis and turmeric help me do this.

I'd like to add that if the writer is opposed to the use of cannabis,
she should not use it. But don't try to dictate to me what natural
herbs I can use in the privacy of my own home. -
