MARIJUANA: KEEP PEOPLE COMFORTABLE

I'm writing about the not-so-thoughtful guest commentary
(Aug 18) by Alex J. Romero: "Who says marijuana is good medicine?"

A couple years ago I had a very close personal friend die from
pancreatic cancer after a nine month battle with this terrible
disease. Marijuana did not cure her cancer. However, it did make her
much more comfortable and able to tolerate her other medications
without vomiting.

Would Romero and other professional drug war cheerleaders prefer to
have this wonderful Mother and Grandmother die alone in a jail cell
instead of surrounded by her loving family?

It appears so.
