MEDICAL POT PLAN TOO INCLUSIVE

According to the Dec. 22 story in The Columbian, "State considers
adding ADD, OCD to medical pot list," the state of Washington is
considering legalizing the use of marijuana for anyone who has a
medical problem of any kind. For instance, Attention Deficit Disorder
or Obsessive Compulsive Disorder would qualify. Other unrelated
diseases, such as a "social disorder" and "intractable pain," also
would make the grade.

Now, my problem is that I have OCHD (Obsessive Compulsive Hunting
Disorder). I love to hunt wild game animals. Someone recently
diagnosed me as being an elkaholic, with no hope of recovery. Faced
with this dire addiction, I wonder if I might qualify for medical
marijuana. And since they are looking for scientific reasons for
adopting its use, I will gladly submit to further study of my
condition. Until then, I guess I'll just have to go on feeding my
compulsion by hunting big game. If, however, I am refused on the basis
that OCHD doesn't qualify me, perhaps I could add that I also have a
hangnail. Anything to get access to this addictive gateway drug.
Please, somebody help me.
