MARIJUANA: TWO VIEWS

Re "Cultivation controversy" (Newslines, by Meredith J. Graham, Feb.
24):

Judging from some of the statements made at the Feb. 22 county Board
of Supervisors meeting by those supporting the use of pot, their main
purpose was to intimidate the supervisors into giving in to their
demands. I hope it does not turn out that way.

Simply put, pot is not a medicine. It does not "cure" anything.
Calling it "medical marijuana" is a blatant fraud. And if anyone
wonders why it is not sold in drug stores, the reason is that the
federal Food and Drug Administration does not recognize nor has it
approved pot as a medicine.
