HYSTERICAL NONSENSE

In reference to the column from David Gee, it only seems to be
appropriate that the next page of the paper contained a review of a
biography of Bob Dylan. The vision put forth by Sheriff Gee asserts
that "everybody must get stoned."

There are legitimate issues on both sides of this issue. This type of
hysterical nonsense does nothing to advance the discussion this topic
deserves. People in pain are currently forced to ingest high-priced
chemicals to make their existence bearable. On the other hand, there
are questions on how medical marijuana will be correctly prescribed
and controlled. How about publishing something that takes an
even-handed and non-hysterical discussion of the pros and cons so the
electorate can make an informed decision?
