A WORTHWHILE CAUSE

There is very little that is accurate in Mary Haan's letter (Sept. 18)
about the Michigan Medical Marijuana Initiative.

The fact that marijuana helps me to cope with arthritis has nothing to
do with an "overall strategy to completely legalize all drugs."

None of the hundreds of thousands of Michigan citizens who signed the
petition were paid for their signature (unless they were also a
"needy" signature gatherer).

Signatures were collected by both paid gatherers and by unpaid
volunteers who donated their time and effort to a worthwhile cause.
