I am appalled that our drug czar, Gil Kerlikowske, has come to my hometown and declared that "marijuana is a dangerous drug and has no medical value" President Obama has told us that there will be a federal policy change that will recognize medical marijuana users as legitimate in states with such laws. When will this happen so that we don't have to listen to the same tired old rhetoric? Once again, I am very disappointed with our drug czar, and I feel that he should return to Fresno and correct his false statements so that patients like me will be properly represented.
