THE RIGHT THING TO DO

Thanks for your sensible medical pot editorial. As a resident of
Madison, Wis., where voters passed an initiative protecting medical
marijuana patients in April 1977, I salute the City of Detroit for
putting this important issue before voters this August.

While the best solution to the dilemma faced by the sick and dying
who have found conventional medications and treatments either
ineffective or intolerable would be changes in state and federal law
legalizing access to medical marijuana, passing local initiatives
sends a strong message that protecting patients from arrest and jail
for trying to ease their suffering is not just good public policy, but
the right and just thing to do.
