EVIDENCE OF CANNABIS' BENEFITS OVERWHELMING

Editor, Regarding the editorial, "Time for Pa. to recognize pot's 
medicinal value," Nov. 25, 2013:

As a Colorado citizen who helped re-legalize cannabis (marijuana) for 
sick people over a decade ago, I testify the law has worked properly 
to protect sick citizens from overzealous government.

The list of scientific evidence proving cannabis contains medical and 
life-saving qualities is staggering, and it's growing nationally and 
internationally every month. Cannabis has been used medically for 
over 5,000 years without a single death. Zero. That's safety on a 
Biblical scale.

A sane or scientific argument to cage sick citizens for using the 
relatively safe, Godgiven plant cannabis doesn't exist.
