MEDICAL MARIJUANA SAVES LIVES

Re: They make millions helping pot growers, Jan. 21; and Pot Inc., Jan. 22

Thank you for having the courage to print Ian Mulgrew's two-part
special report about medical marijuana. The extremely difficult
situation both suppliers and purchasers find themselves in has dragged
on for far too long.

Several years ago, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. As a
side-effect of the chemotherapy treatments, I was unable to eat, even
with the synthetic THC pills that were prescribed. If it were not for
the availability of marijuana, most likely I would have died.
