But after all the latest busts in San Francisco, we want to bring the issue of distribution back to the voters. In a poll cited by the California Medical Association approximately 75 percent of all Americans support medical marijuana, a much higher proportion of the populace than voted for President Bush. This initiative would require California, and any of the other seven states where medical marijuana is legal, to first petition the federal government for a legal source of medical marijuana. The initiative would not permit interstate distribution, in order to avoid conflict with federal laws regulating interstate commerce. BUSTER JONES, Albany, Ga. - --- MAP posted-by: Jackl
