To the Editor of The Gadsen Times:
Thanks for publishing John P. Myer's thoughtful letter: "Legalize
medical marijuana"
(11-6-11). I'd like to add that one of the medications prescribed by my
personal
physician for my severe arthritis and spinal stenosis has the rare side
effect of
causing death.
In other words, if I use this medication as prescribed I can die as a
result. On
the other hand, marijuana has never caused any deaths from its use.
Is something wrong with this situation? I think so. Shouldn't adult
citizens
have the fundamental freedom to self-medicate with this God-created natural
herb without the threat of getting arrested and thrown in jail with violent
criminals?

To the Editor of The Tucson Weekly:
Re: J. M. Smith's column: "Examining the exam" (11-10-11). It
seems to me that getting a medical marijuana card should be no
more difficult to obtaining than a handicap parking placard.
I received my handicap parking placard in about two minutes
(after waiting about 20 minutes for my number to be called).
I just handed the clerk the form filled out by my doctor and
two minutes later I received my handicap parking placard.
No money was requested. My placard expires in five years.
On the other hand, getting a medical marijuana card was a
major hassle and expensive. I had to drive 35 miles and pay
$50 for an outfit to take my photo for the ID badge and then
pay the State of Arizona $150 for the privilege of using a natural
herb that has never killed anyone in the 5,000 year history of
its use. This privilege expires in one year and I'll have to pay
another $150 to renew my medical marijuana card.
Shouldn't adult citizens be able to self-medicate with natural
herbs without seeking permission from the state?

To the Editor of The San Diego Union Tribune:
Thanks for publishing Sam Warren's outstanding letter:
''Cannabis Freedom'' (12-12-11). I'd like to add that freedom
is the fundamental issue regarding the re-legalization of marijuana.
The freedom of adults to pursue their own happiness any way
they want as long as they are not harming someone else.
