THE MEDICAL BENEFITS OF POT FAR OUTWEIGH THE DANGERS

Re: "Marijuana not harmful? Not true" (Gazette, May 11).

My wife and I each use more than nine grams of marijuana every day,
and have used over five grams per day for more than five years. Our
health has only continued to improve. I freed myself from the
wheelchair to which I was tethered for 5 1/2 years, cured my sleep
apnea in two weeks, and I am no longer impotent. My wife has been
dealing with epilepsy and PTSD, and cannabis is the only thing that
makes her life livable. A recent trip to the eye doctor has confirmed
that her cannabis use has even improved her eyesight!

The science is well-documented and widely available, and the fact of
the matter is, even when smoked, the benefits of pot use far outweigh
any so-called "dangers."

Pot has dozens of proven medical applications, and recent science even
shows how marijuana fights cancer.

But then, when has the media ever let things like "fact" and "science"
get in the way of a good, blustery, anti-pot propaganda piece?
