TAKING POT SHOTS

Editor -- Like a joint in the dark, the controversy over medicinal 
marijuana flares and dims, apparently at the whims of whoever the current 
attorney general or drug czar is. Once again the fearsome feds are pleasing 
conservatives by attacking toking.

Dare I call them "token hits"?

The justice squads squash the spirit of liberty when they aim to terrorize 
with their pot shots merciful doctors and us who have cancer. The federal 
anti-marijuana laws must be rethought. As they stand, they are a bum drag.
