Reader: Medical marijuana might be right for some

The Edmond Sun

EDMOND To the Editor:

I’m responding to Courtney Bryce’s story: “Forum to discuss medical marijuana” (Edmond Sun, 4-18).

I’d like to add that one of the medications prescribed by my personal physician for my arthritis pain and inflammation, has the rare potential side effect of death. In other words, if I take this medication as prescribed, I can die as a result.

On the other hand, marijuana has never been documented to kill a single person in the 5,000 year history of its use.

For me, marijuana is the more effective medication. Right now, if adult citizens opt for the safer and more effective medication, they are subject to arrest and being sent to jail with violent criminals.

Is something wrong with this situation? I think so.

Shouldn’t adult citizens have the freedom to choose what goes into their own bodies in the privacy of their own homes?
