DOUBLE TAKE

Our coverage of the raid of the Mid-Island Compassion Club resulted in
a upsurge of letters and comments -- most of which decry the actions
of police.

Blaming police for enforcing the laws (whether you agree or not) is an
oversimplification of the issue. The use of marijuana as medicine in
an age where it is seen as an illegal substance, demands better debate
than berating those who disagree with a single point-of-view. If you
can't debate without insulting your opponent, it's better to keep your
mouth shut than prove you have no real point to make.
