MARIJUANA FIGHT FOR WHAT IS RIGHT

I just wanted to thank you for the article about the true facts about
marijuana ("Nurses back medical marijuana," Perspectives, Dec. 10). It
is a shame taxpayers' money is wasted to arrest the sick who look to
the drug for relief in their life of pain.

I am a cancer survivor who needed most of my left femur replaced to
rid myself of cancer. Four years later, I still deal with pain.

I would love to see the Journal Sentinel publish more articles like
this. Already, at least 70% of Wisconsinites support medical
marijuana. If the pending measure fails to pass, I would love to see
the people's names in the paper who voted against it so they are voted
out of office.

Remember that we need to fight for what is right - for those who are
too sick to do it on their own, or before we are too sick ourselves.
