THE PLAIN TRUTH IS:MEDICAL POT WORKS

Dear Editor: One fact Tyler Zellmer omitted in advocating for medical marijuana use is that it is impossible to take a Marinol pill or to eat a marijuana brownie when you are puking your guts out from chemotherapy. Trust me, the pills come shooting out like mung beans out of a pea shooter.

The nausea relief provided by a few puffs of marijuana is the only reason many people are able to endure their cancer treatments.

Anyone who stands in the way of medical marijuana has spiraled into a moral black hole where lies trump the plain truth.
