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.)
