MEDICINAL BENEFITS UNJUSTLY WITHHELD
In his recent letter ["Making Sense of Medical Marijuana," March 15],
Bob Niewoehner mentions losing his mother to breast cancer, and he
despairs at marijuana's medicinal benefits being unjustly withheld.
Put cannabis+tumor into your favorite search engine and ponder: How
many cancer patients have been sacrificed since 1974 to preserve prohibition?
Reading Mr. Niewoehner's letter brought a tear and reminded me of my
own mother's tortuous decline and death due to Alzheimer's. She never
had the benefit of cannabis' potential relief (search cannabis +Alzheimer's).
Cannabis prohibition is of foul root [with] devastating effects --
completely without merit. Try these additional search strings if you
have any doubts: ... "Shafer Commission"; "Francis L. Young."
