THE REAL THREAT TO MEDICAL POT USER'S CHILDREN

Re: Social workers want help dealing with kids in grow-ops, Nov. 8

This article really irked me because I'm a legally licensed medical 
marijuana user and producer who also has children. Not once has 
anyone ever asked me if my children were in danger of exposure to 
toxic chemicals and potential violence. They're not threatened by 
toxic chemicals, but I fear they are under constant threat of 
violence from home invaders. After being robbed twice and running 
into strangers in my back yard at night on two separate occasions, I 
am basically forced to keep a loaded gun close at hand.

It's time for the federal government to step up and help people like 
me make sure that our growing environments are safe and secure.
