WALTERS IS UNFIT FOR HIS POSITION

Thanks for publishing the letter by Jim Miller [April 8].

Drug Czar Walters says that patients use marijuana to feel better, so they
might as well use crack. Hmm.

Does Mr. Walters not know of the system within our bodies that research
shows without a doubt is activated by cannabis? Does Mr. Walters not know
that cocaine does nothing to activate this system?

Does Mr. Walters not know that our own government stated in its 1999
Institute of Medicine Report that: "Scientific data indicate the potential
therapeutic value of cannabinoid drugs, primarily THC, for pain relief,
control of nausea and vomiting, and appetite stimulation. ." And: "Cannabis
and its derivatives have shown promise in the treatment of a variety of
disorders."

Either Mr. Walters is lying or he is simply uneducated on the matter. In
either case, I feel that he is unfit for his current position.

The federal government is making fools out of us. They are lying in our face
and getting away with it. How much longer are we going to sit idly by and
allow our country to be destroyed by prohibition?
