CAN'T POT CURE EVERYTHING?

I read "Marijuana law could change" (March 23) about  medical
marijuana user Elvy Musikka and had to wonder  just how stupid must we
get before it is all over.

Why do we need embryonic stem cell research when we  have Oregon
marijuana? Now through Ms. Musikka and her  quack doctor we find that
marijuana can cure blindness.  We already knew that it cured hair
loss, athletes foot,  hangnails and every imaginable ache and pain you
and  your pot smoking doctor could come up with; but  blindness? Wow!

Ms. Musikka moved to Oregon after her arrest for  growing marijuana
and because Oregon pot was so much  better than what she was getting.
That is a pat on the  back for Oregon.

Another pat is that 21,500 Oregonians are getting  medical marijuana.
That means at any time there may be  as many as 21,500 pot-smoking
drivers on the road. If  that doesn't send tingles up your leg,
nothing will.

There is not one single record of anyone with a medical  marijuana
card who did not smoke dope before they found  a problem that
marijuana would fix. Problem is, if pot  is so great why did they get
the problem in the first  place? Why did not the pot stop the problem
from  happening? Cured blindness.

Most of you, especially those smoking pot, will not  remember that the
reason for the "so-called need" for  smoking dope originally was to
give those on cancer  treatment an appetite, not to cure or stop the
pain.

Ms. Musikka, take a pill. I know you cannot smoke a  pill, but the THC
is still there.
