Medical Marijuana

"Backing for law on medical pot climbs in poll," Jan. 30: Thanks for reporting on the poll showing 74 percent of California's registered voters support medical marijuana, and 63 percent have smoked pot. We are clearly fed up with vengeful drug war policies. Regardless of state law, the federal government, led by Attorney General John Ashcroft and President Bush, continues to come in to California and arrest otherwise law-abiding citizens for using medical marijuana - a medicine deemed legal by California voters and supported by a wide majority. The feds' overzealous prosecution of marijuana users ( medical or not ) is destroying more lives than the drug itself.

Times are changing. Nearly all of the Democratic presidential candidates support medical marijuana. Also, most of the top gubernatorial candidates during the recall supported it, including Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Californians need to stand up against the DEA's Gestapo tactics. We also need to tell our governor to do the right thing - protect medical marijuana users from out-of-control federal agents.
