ALCOHOL MORE DANGEROUS THAN MARIJUANA

I'm an old woman with chronic pain. I have a prescription from my 
physician for medical marijuana. However, I have been unable to find 
a pharmacy in town that will fill it. They're all spooked! My 
physician tells me there are medical marijuana providers out there. I 
even talked to one. He's out of the business because of the latest 
initiative passed by a majority of voters in the recent election. I 
have no hope that the 2013 conservative GOP majority Legislature will 
do anything to change the situation.

It's interesting to me that this boozing state turns out to be 
anti-marijuana. Alcohol is a much more dangerous drug. Look at the 
number of DUls, the number of alcohol-related car accidents, the 
number of homes ruined by alcoholism. What's one to do? Apparently nothing!
