A MATTER OF TIME

Regarding "Pot RX: Will Ohio Ever Legalize Medical Marijuana?"
(11/19):  The answer is yes. It's unavoidable. Even though our federal
government has had a stranglehold on this medical research over the
past several decades, studies showing the positive side to marijuana's
medicinal effects are emerging all over the world.  We will not
continue to deny the sick, nor will we continue to deprive ourselves
of higher education. However, with a "Republican-dominated state
legislature, and a governor and first lady with a slant against
illegal drug use during a presidential election year," the real
question is "When?"

(By the way, does being a Republican, governor or first lady during a
presidential election year really mean they would not likely go with
the flow?)
