CANNABIS IS A SAFE, EFFECTIVE MEDICINE

I have to respond to Glen Zenda and his  anti-medical-marijuana rant
("What makes Lynch so  special?" June 3). What the hell would he do if
someone  he loves suffers great pain for days upon days while
vomiting? He should count his lucky stars! As far as  his accusation
that dispensaries make a shit load of  money selling weed; how about
$30 for an anti-vomit  pill that doesn't do jack? Talk about a profit:
Look at  big pharma, those are the people who are sticking it to  us.

It is good that medical marijuana is emerging from the  back alley to
the store front. Marijuana has been a  medicine for more than 5,000
years and no one has ever  overdosed from it. Look at all the side
affects on the  pills big pharma pushes on us. Marijuana is by far one
  of the safest medicines.
