FEDS SHOW NO COMPASSION

THANK you for the coverage of Asa Hutchinson's DEA busting medical cannabis
operations.

I wish this were not taking place. Your Tuesday story shows a side of the
district attorney's job, that of compassion, that is welcome.

Somehow the federal government is grotesquely failing citizens on this
issue.

It defies integrity and rationality to cage humans for using cannabis. To
cage sick citizens using cannabis for relief of pain is vile, morbid and
spiteful for a civilization in the year 2001.
