Chris Christie decided to speak negatively about the present medical cannabis (marijuana) laws in my state (Christie: Medical pot rules are a must, Nov. 26, 2010) which work properly to protect sick citizens from overzealous government. Those, "doctors parachuted into the situation" are a godsend to many citizens whose doctors are afraid of the federal government and refuse to recommend cannabis. Christie is a prohibitionist at heart and will do anything to thwart the will of voters with disregard to the needs of sick citizens. The needs of sick citizens should come before the needs of prohibitionists. Stan White Dillon, Colo. - --- MAP posted-by: Jay Bergstrom
