LET COMPASSION BE PART OF MEDICAL MARIJUANA

Surely Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette must have more
important fish to fry than pursuing prosecutions of suppliers of
marijuana to legal medicinal users ("Medical pot shops declared
illegal," Aug. 25).

While the law is badly written, these dealers have believed from day
one that they were following the law. Schuette's vendetta is an
unprecedented misuse of his office to countermand the intent of a
large percentage of the Michigan electorate.
