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!
