MEDICAL MARIJUANA

* Vasconcellos deserves high praise for his essay.

This extraordinary statement is both courageous and historic, especially in
light of his defense of McWilliams and other medical marijuana patients who
are currently being persecuted by hostile federal officials.

Vasconcellos' challenge to the federal government to respect the will of the
people is the kind of genuine and inspired leadership that deserves our
respect and support. It's time to stop arresting sick people.
