SUPREME COURT AND MEDICAL MARIJUANA

Re: "Justices say feds can prosecute use of marijuana by state-OK'd
patients," June 7 news story.

So let me get this straight: it's OK for President Bush to smoke pot,
for Newt Gringrich to smoke pot, for former President Clinton to smoke
pot, for former Vice President Gore to smoke pot, but it's not OK for
a dying cancer patient to smoke pot to help with his appetite. It's a
hypocritical world we live in.
