Mr. Presedent, we thank you for your response but feel it is misguided.
Of course no doctor in there right mind would advocate smoking. It is ignorant on your part to think that is the sole means by which THC and other cannabinoids may be ingested. Vaporization and cooking it into foods are very safe alternatives.
Frankly, a lot of people have a true understanding of why they want marijuana to be legalized. Its the cost. Its the cost to the family, the government, and the people that have to deal with this injustice while other drugs are given free reign.
You say it could do no good for the community quality of life? Sir, I ask you to acknowledge that weed is already in our community, and it is not going away. You yourself have smoked it. Now please, do what is right for it.
