It shouldn't matter what the drug is. The point is that he had a prescription, a written letter of recommendation for a drug given to him by a doctor of medicine. Is it up to the state, any state, or court to tell us what we can and cannot use for an ailment? Michael Lapihuska is no danger to himself or any citizen of this state. The only victims here are him and the people of this state. All charges should be dropped and an apology given to Lapihuska by the courts for his inconveniences. It will be said "People of the state of Alabama vs. Michael Lapihuska." Well, I am one of the people, and I say let him go and leave the man alone. Michael Blum Elkmont - --- MAP posted-by: Jo-D
