PRO MEDICINE 1

Thank you for coverage of the medical cannabis issue, ("The right to feel
better," Oct. 18). It was discomforting witnessing my 17-year-old dying
with cancer, allowed to self-induce morphine every six minutes for pain,
denied cannabis use. As government stats indicate, one out of four citizens
will confront cancer, which translates to every American family. This issue
is crucial.

The original prohibition on a national scale was worse than the booze
prohibited, and the sequel, now, on an international scale, is worse.
Needless to say, civilized society must stop voting for prohibitionist
politicians. Do cannabis prohibitionists even comprehend that they're
admitting a desire to cage humans, even sick humans, for using a plant?

Thank Christ God, Our Father for cannabis. Accept cannabis (known as kaneh
bosm, before the King James Version) for what it is as described on
literally the very first page of the Bible (Genesis 1:11-12 and 29-30).
