LETTER OF THE WEEK

THE RIGHT TO SELF-MEDICATION

Re "Medical marijuana user free after plea deal" (News article, Dec. 14):

It seems to me that the right to self-medicate should be a fundamental
right. Adult citizens of a so-called free country should not have to
seek permission from their government to use a natural herb that
hasn't killed anyone in the 5,000-year history of its use.

For those who oppose the use of marijuana, medical or otherwise, I
have some simple advice: Don't buy it, don't grow it and don't use it.
Period.
