follows.

RE: "LEGALIZED marijuana a potty idea," (Nov. 26). At the end of her article, 
reporter Linda Slobodian asks: "What message will legalizing pot  even in a 
limited way  send to these kids?" The answer is simple. The message will
be that 
we aren't vindictive, cruel and heartless enough to investigate and charge
the sick 
and dying for possessing a substance which might actually help them
to cope with their illnesses. What is so hard to understand about that?
