A MORE RATIONAL VIEW OF A GOD-GIVEN PLANT

Some doctors conveniently claim (Minnesota doctors' views on medical
marijuana differ, Mar. 10, Forum) they "don't know the true risks,"
regarding cannabis (marijuana), however, there is a number of
irrefutable facts to lead a rational person to accept the medical use
of the God-given plant.

In more than 5,000 years of documented use, cannabis has not killed
one single person, and it's safer than every pharmaceutical drug that
it replaces. Cannabis is labeled a Schedule I substance alongside
heroin for purely political, not scientific reasons.

Sick citizens should avoid doctors who accept the discredited
political scandal regarding the plant and disregard the scientific
knowledge, which is available.
