ALL TOGETHER NOW

Your editorial ("Free medicinal pot - only in Berkeley," July 20) 
makes the assertion: "Reality check II: Regular pot can take a toll 
on motivation, judgment and attention to detail." That point should 
be rebutted by the likes of Michael Phelps, Steve Jobs, Barack Obama 
and Carl Sagan. I've done OK with a lifetime of cannabis use, 
starting five decades ago.

My hopes are that the "cannabis community" can coalesce on one 
vehicle for legalization. They are a fractious bunch - medical, 
recreational, industrial ... "My weed, not yours."

If we all pull on the same hemp rope, we can drag it across the line.
