Medical marijuana

To the editor:

It is amazing to me that medical marijuana continues to encounter resistance among our elected officials. The vast majority of voters support the use of marijuana to reduce pain and suffering. It is clear they understand the decision of appropriate treatment should be left to the patient and their doctor – not the government. I encourage all citizens to contact their legislators and ask them to support protection for these patients. Perhaps there is someone in Topeka listening through all the paranoia.
