Editor, The Times:

As A Concerned Citizen, I Worry About Scarce City, State And Federal
Resources Being Wasted On Tracking Down Patients Who Use Marijuana For
Medicinal Purposes.

Certainly, We Should Be More Concerned About Finding Lost Children,
Catching A Rapist, Providing For The Homeless And Maintaining Our
Environment And Infrastructure.

The Smoking Of Marijuana For Successful Treatment And Relief Of
Chemotherapy, Glaucoma, Multiple Sclerosis, Spasticity And
Hyperparathyroidism Has Been Recognized And Endorsed By The American
Medical Association.

The War On Marijuana Has Gone On Long Enough And Has Cost Us More Than We
Can Afford. Let's Put A Stop To Government Waste. Support Marijuana-law
Reforms.
