DOPEY RESPONSE

All those stupid dopes who think the government should not relax the
medical marijuana laws are just ignorant and paranoid. (Comment poll,
Oct. 28) My sister was taking morphine for pain because of her
muscular dystrophy. After years of being a zombie, she started smoking
dope. After that, she could actually enjoy what was left of her life.
She lived in B.C. so she had access to cheap dope. She passed away
last year. I am so happy she got off morphine and enjoyed the last few
years of her life. If she was allowed to grow her own dope, it would
have made her life even more enjoyable instead of having to break the
law every time she needed pain relief.
