JUST SAYING YES, AND NO, TO MEDICAL POT

Re "DEA raids marijuana outlets," Jan. 18

As a California citizen, I found it disturbing to read Los Angeles
Police Chief William J. Bratton's promise to work with federal
authorities in usurping the will of the California electorate. As a
glaucoma patient relying on cannabis medically, it is my intent to see
dispensaries propagate and thrive. It is the federal law that is
wrong. Cannabis prohibition is irrational in a nation with Starbucks,
much less thriving alcohol and tobacco industries.
