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. Craig Trier Waterford - --- MAP posted-by: Richard Lake
