Instead of getting happy about finding a "doctor" so you can get your card for (pick one) anxiety, finger cramps, hangovers or hangnails, just admit you like the high and man up and fight for legalized marijuana, period. Don't pretend to be supporting people who need it for a real medical problem. Charlie Andrews Los Angeles - --- MAP posted-by: Jay Bergstrom
