BENTALL WRONG ABOUT MEDICAL POT

To the editor:

Re: "Bentall money going to fight drug liberalization," Nov. 28.

As an acute-care and public-health nurse, I challenge Lynda Bentall to face
not only the thousands of patients who benefit from the medicinal affects
of marijuana, but also their physicians. By virture of her crusade, she is
basically saying that hundreds of qualified physicians,who have signed
statements confirming that in their professional opinions their patients
would benefit from using marijuana are practising "politically motivated
pseudoscience."

How ironic that she accuse others of doing precisely what she advertises
for her May "IDEAS" conference in Vancouver!
