MEDICAL CANNABIS WORKED IN COLORADO

Editor, The Auburn Plainsman:

As a Colorado citizen who voted for Amendment 20 allowing people to use
cannabis medicinally in my state, I agree with Rep. Laura Hall ("Medical
Pot In Alabama?" Feb. 10, 2005) and point out politicians normally do
poorly in supporting their constituents on this issue, yet in every recent
case that reaches the ballot box, it has passed by wide margins. Now,
Coloradoans use the plant cannabis, following state law simultaneously, and
it works. Since Colorado enacted its initiative, cannabis use has not
increased, and so far the sky hasn't fallen.

Government would like citizens to think cannabis is a chemical weapon
of mass destruction. In reality, it is one of those seed-bearing
plants God created and said is good on literally the very first page
of the Bible.
