HOPE IS HARD TO FIND

Re 'Epileptics say success of marijuana drugs merits state's OK'
(front page, Jan. 30): Thank you, thank you, thank you!

As the mother of an adult son with epilepsy, I was so moved to see
this story about seizure disorders. There is not very much written
about how this life-altering situation affects so many people of all
ages.

When all available prescriptions and surgeries have not been
successful for a patient, why would there ever be a question about a
medical marijuana trial? We should try anything. We should be
compassionate. We need some hope where there is little.
