STUDY SUPPORTS POT

The July 20 letter, "Marijuana has no medical validity," states that there 
have been no studies which support the medical use of marijuana. From a 
study commissioned by the Office of National Drug Control Policy and 
conducted by the Institute of Medicine: "Scientific data indicate the 
potential therapeutic value of cannabinoid drugs, primarily THC, for pain 
relief, control of nausea and vomiting, and appetite stimulation." The full 
text of the study is available at www.nap.edu/ readingroom/books/ marimed/.
