POLITICIANS SHOULDN'T INTERFERE

The Gazette did a commendable job editorializing about House Bill 
11-1250 (Our View: "Bill seeks to outlaw MMJ food," Feb. 12). It's an 
eye-opener to read the same people who are opposed to using cannabis 
(marijuana) medicinally, because they believe medicine is not smoked, 
are wasting resources to eliminate medical use of cannabis which is not 
smoked.

These very same politicians are not doctors and have no right or
credentials to decide which kind of medication citizens use anyway.
Doctors are qualified to suggest patients use nonsmoked cannabis and
politicians should not interfere.
