MEDICAL MARIJUANA

To the Editor:

Re "Compassion in New Jersey" (editorial, Jan. 13):

New Jersey's legalization of medically prescribed marijuana is not, as
you state, a "show of compassion." It is the righting of a wrong. It
is profoundly immoral to make criminals of people for using marijuana
for medical purposes (or to relax or get high).
