FEDS' WEIRD PRIORITIES

Re "Feds and meds" by Nick Miller (SN&R Frontlines, October
13):

I think that the Obama [Department of Justice] has the wrong
priorities.

For some reason, Eric Holder is interested in stopping cancer patients
in California from getting marijuana by going after pot clubs that are
legal under California law. At the same time the Justice Department
has been caught secretly supplying firearms to Mexican drug lords.

It seems to me that it would be more productive to stop selling guns
to drug lords than to stop cancer patients from getting the medicine
they need.
