LEGALIZATION OF POT IS OVERDUE

Re "The medical marijuana mess," Editorial, Aug. 1

It is about time to get the word "medical" out of the entire 
marijuana discussion.

There is absolutely no need to get medical professionals involved in 
the subject of cultivation, sale or use of marijuana products. People 
use the substance to feel better, whether they have cancer or a bad 
day at the office. Some of us would rather have a martini.

Let's get honest about federal and local laws regarding this drug and 
drop any reference to medicine.
