COLUMN PRAISED

To the editor:

I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciated the inclusion of David
Broder's column on DEA opposition to medical marijuana.

Every informed, honest citizen understands that the herb helps patients
cope with, and even survive, cancer. It is extraordinarily arrogant of
federal officials to pursue them, particularly in light of the increased
demand for federal might in truly important matters.
