MEDICAL MARIJUANA OPPONENTS MISGUIDED
It is sad to see White House drug czar John P. Walters continuing to spread
misinformation about medical marijuana ("National drug czar, Cummings
against marijuana bill," March 25). It is even sadder to see local
representatives such as Rep. Elijah E. Cummings being taken in by Mr.
Walters' deceptions.
Mr. Cummings claims there is little evidence of marijuana's medical value,
but leading scientific experts disagree. The prestigious New England
Journal of Medicine, for instance, has called the federal ban on medical
use of marijuana "misguided, heavy-handed and inhumane."
