SOME LEGACY

Here we go again! President Clinton has received an injunction against 
doctors in California from prescribing marijuana for their patients. When 
did our illustrious president get his license to practice medicine? What 
ever happened to doctor-patient privileges? His usurping the right of a 
doctor to deal with their patients in private must violate some 
constitutional right!

Why is he doing this? Because he doesn't want to look "soft on drugs"? Who 
cares! He's only going to be in office for a few more months anyway! 
Because he's trying to improve on his legacy after he leaves office? He is 
going to force these unfortunate people to suffer even more than they 
already are, even possibly death, or to face ruin if they continue to use 
the drug and are arrested for doing so.

Some legacy!
