A CRITICAL NEED FOR MEDICAL MARIJUANA

To the Editor:

Henry I. Miller suggests that advocates for medical marijuana have a
"real agenda" to legalize it as a recreational drug.

Our son, Sean, never used marijuana until his physicians recommended
it, since the legal, F.D.A.-approved drugs were not effective in
relieving the effects of his cancer and the chemotherapy he was
receiving. He did, and it allowed him to live for another 18 months
without the constant pain and nausea from his condition.

For Sean, marijuana was not for recreation; it was for
survival.
