MIGHT AS WELL DO THAT

Enough is enough! I surrender. Apparently, medical marijuana has its
benefits and should be made available to those who need it. As I see
it, the problem is the establishment of "head shops" that will
dispense it, creating more need for government oversight and
potentially distracting from the neighborhoods in which they locate.

I would bet a dollar to a doughnut that many of the supporters are
already poised to open these shops and make a fortune.

Solution: Legalize it, let doctors prescribe it and pharmacies carry
it. Surely all that is needed is the drug itself and old-fashioned
cigarette paper. This would take most of the negative aspects out of
legalizing it.

One more thing, it should be covered by all anti-smoking laws already
in place.
