STOP THE INEXCUSABLE REEFER MADNESS

Editor, the Times:

Years ago, the famous group The Beatles sang Let it Be - code words
for running from our problems by smoking marijuana, which they termed
"mother Mary."

Now thanks to some people here, we can be assured of enduring
indifference to any pain - or anything else through "mother Mary" -
"medical marijuana".

A new brave clinic has opened its doors for suffering patients, who
can claim a need for this marvelous miracle for self-induced nirvana -
complete indifference to whatever is, or may be happening to us or
around us. No longer need we be concerned about anyone else objecting
to the hazards of the marijuana fumes or any second-hand smoke
resulting from the smoking. We should just "let it be."

We can be assured of a doctor's OK to just go ahead with this
perpetual indulgence. True, a doctor - on staff of the clinic, of
course - will have to "approve the application" for immunity from
interference from any neighbour, worried about the nauseous and
noxious fumes drifting over from this supposed medical procedure.

No need to fear any poisonous effects on children's fragile
constitutions either.

The good doctor will have granted permission.

Is there nothing we can do to stop this inexcusable madness - a
madness actually permitted by our federal government?
