LAW SHOULD HELP PEOPLE IN CHRONIC PAIN

Editor: Richard Paey is the man who didn't fold.

I have read the several reasons and excuses of those involved in
procuring a 25-year sentence for this man. If you didn't want to do
it, then why did you do it? The letter of the law was obscenely
served, something that many will sweep aside. Any of us who illegally
obtain drugs for the relief of chronic pain could be in Richard Paey's
cell. Those who have a relative or friend, as I do, who endure chronic
pain can fully understand Richard's decision.

I ask that our Legislature enact laws that will allow those sufferers
to freely obtain pain-relieving drugs without the now-attendant prison
sentence.

The milk of human kindness has turned lethal for those who are victims
of nonlegal use of drugs for control of chronic pain. It is mandated
that they partake of the poison hemlock via prison time.
