I have a friend who is living (dying) with cancer and it sickens me that the federal government is sending medical marijuana to seven patients every month (penalty-free I might add) and my friend has to break the law and run the risk of some sort of prosecution just so she can have her medicine. The hypocrisy is overwhelming. Hopefully, it's men in your profession that are not afraid to report the truth and aren't afraid to talk about it that will turn this thing around. (By the way, I am not a drug user myself, as some might think that this is back-door rhetoric for full legalization.) John Kindle, Granite City, Illinois - --- MAP posted-by: Derek
