MEDICAL MARIJUANA PATIENTS WON; FOWLE'S OFFICE LOST

Short letter in response to Evert Fowle's comments  regarding the
medical marijuana trial recently held in  Superior Court in Skowhegan.

We, patient and provider, won; Fowle's office lost.

Fowle says, "it's past time to overhaul the medical  marijuana
law."

That's one thing he might be right about; it could use  a good
overhaul, but for the medical patients benefit,  not his. It is 9
years old and was improved once, ever  so slightly, a few years ago by
increasing the amount  of marijuana patients can possess from 1 1/4
ounces to  2 1/2 ounces. We should be allowed at least a month's
supply like any other medicine, but that's another  subject.

Fowle would like to get rid of the law but he can't  because the
people voted this one in.

But, just like always, as soon as we figure out the  answers. they
want to change the questions.

Well, Fowle can't change a thing concerning the medical  marijuana law
as "We the People" voted it in, unless he  would like to help us make
it better?
