THIS BUD SHOULD BE FOR YOU

Thank you so much for the article on the truth about the way the majority
of the people feel about medical marijuana ("Dr. Feelgood," 3/23). I have a
friend who is living (dying) with cancer and it sickens me that the federal
government is sending medical marijuana to seven patients every month
(penalty-free I might add) and my friend has to break the law and run the
risk of some sort of prosecution just so she can have her medicine. The
hypocrisy is overwhelming. Hopefully, it's men in your profession that are
not afraid to report the truth and aren't afraid to talk about it that will
turn this thing around. (By the way, I am not a drug user myself, as some
might think that this is back-door rhetoric for full legalization.)
