ITS NOT MARIJUANA THAT'S THE THREAT

Judie Mikulicich needs to step back and look at the big picture 
concerning "real medicines." From basic aspirin, penicillin and cold 
remedies to the strongest opiate-based pain killers, none originated 
as "purified chemicals in safe delivery systems." I doubt many 
chemotherapy patients (Let's artificially poison the body and hope 
the cancer dies before the patient) who finds relief from marijuana, 
think it "too complex, unstable and harmful."
