SAFE ACCESS TO MEDICAL MARIJUANA

Your editorial against Measure 33 (Oct. 4) was about as weak as Stormy
Ray's opinion piece a week earlier (Sept. 28).

You admitted in the first paragraph that The Oregonian editorialized
against the Oregon Medical Marijuana Act in 1998 before Oregonians
voted for it and against decriminalization. What readers do you
represent, I wonder?

All I see are weak arguments and a lack of compassion for more than
10,000 registered patients who use medical marijuana. How dare The
Oregonian question the validity of a patient's need!

Patients need safe medicine and safe access, period. Vote "yes" on
Measure 33.
