LID' ON THIS POT NEEDS TO BE LIFTED

The editorial Thursday, "Keep lid on pot," regarding medical marijuana
completely ignores the fact that cannabis is the least potent, with fewest
side effects, of all of the narcotic armamentarium.

How much sense does it make to license physicians to prescribe opium
derivatives and deny them the ability to prescribe hemp derivatives?
