POT RAID NOT PEOPLE'S WILL, EITHER

Before we get too carried away with our praise for the  raid at 
Modesto's medical marijuana dispensary ("Drug  czar honors officers 
for raid," Jan. 19, Page B-2),  let's remember that it was done 
against the will of the  people.

California voters approved Proposition 215 in 1996. It  made 
marijuana available for medicinal use on a  doctor's recommendation.

This is only a sample of what we'll get when the  theocratic agenda 
of the Republican Party is fully  implemented.
