RESERVE THE RIGHT TO SELF-MEDICATE

I'm writing about Joanne Crouch's not-so-thoughtful letter: "Marijuana
not a harmless herb," Dec. 10. If Crouch is opposed to marijuana use,
medical or otherwise, I have some simple advice: don't buy it, don't
grow it and don't use it. Period. What somebody does to themselves in
the privacy of their own home should be their business. Not their neighbors.

It seems to me that the right to self-medicate should be a fundamental
right granted to all adult citizens or legal residents.
