MEDICAL-MARIJUANA FOES SHOULDN'T USE TERRORISM

It is very upsetting to me that those against medical  marijuana have 
resorted to violence and destruction.  Many people disagree on many 
things, but for those  against medical-marijuana patients and 
caregivers and  who are responsible for these terrorist-type 
activities, I believe you have committed a hate crime  against a certain group.

Parents of school-age children against medical  marijuana are 
apparently confused and unable to  understand certain aspects of this 
business. Medical  marijuana is for patients, and they are the only 
ones  who can purchase it from a designated caregiver. Are  your 
children able to walk into a pharmacy and buy  prescription drugs? 
Are your children able to purchase  alcohol at the liquor store? The 
answer would be no. It  is most likely far easier for them to get it 
at school  illegally.

Perhaps those who are against this (who also happen to  be the 
minority) should focus on some of the illegal  activities going on 
right behind their backs and leave  those who wish to be legal and 
upfront about what they  are doing alone. It is time that those 
against this  (the minority) realize that this is something they are 
just going to have to deal with and act like decent  citizens -- not 
terrorists.
