THOSE IN MEDICAL NEED SHOULD BE ALLOWED DOPE

Editor:

Lynn Harichy, who represents many medical marijuana activists across the
country and the U.S., has been cruelly shoved aside again by the powers
that be.  I, for one, find it disgusting and a national outrage that a
natural herb that has been proven harmless should be denied to those who
can best use it: MS victims, amputees, chemo victims and pain sufferers of
many types, including migraines.

Even the narco-maniac packed country to the south has voted positively in
nine out of nine (medical use of marijuana) initiatives just held this past
month.

Having long triumphed over the Yanks in the humanity and medical care
fields, you'd think we would have allowed doctors to perscribe any drug or
herb or plant that gives relief to those in need.
