Congratulations for the prominence you gave to State Attorney Brad King's input on Amendment 2.

My conclusion is that approval of this amendment would be a case of "mob rule." To me, this means that a crowd of people take the sales opinion of "snake oil salesmen" instead of that of qualified persons, such as the American Medical Association and official law enforcement agencies. This is based upon the facts that current effective federal laws state that marijuana is a dangerous and illegal drug and that a prescription of it without FDA approval would be at least unethical.

From what I have read from responsible sources, this drug is being sold by organizations of questionable character, with a variety of "flavors." There is no dependable guarantee that some could not be harmful or even fatal.
