LEGALIZE MEDICAL MARIJUANA

Congratulations on the commentary about the medical-marijuana question 
["The Media Go to Pot, " RFT, May 16]. It's time to push Henry Waxman and 
Barbara Boxer to introduce bills in Congress legalizing all appropriate 
medications for palliative use. I am close to this issue since so many of 
my friends receive marijuana from the Los Angeles Cannabis Cooperative and 
since I am a former friend and business associate of Peter McWilliams, who 
died in his bathtub while under a federal order not to consume or inhale THC.
