Sacramento Bee, 30 Jul 2012 – Re "Science supporting medicinal pot is clear" (Viewpoints, July 25): Earlier this year, I stood around a campfire as a member of our group who bakes cannabis brownies for a "medical marijuana" store eagerly distributed some of his wares. As he did, he enthusiastically described how easy it was to get a medical pot card. Perhaps out of courtesy or curiosity, two obvious non-users in the group ate his offerings, even though both were going to be driving long distances the next morning, and THC ingested in this manner stays active much longer than when inhaled. This, not the good research being done by UC San Diego and UC San Francisco, is the reality of most medical marijuana use in California. Paul Armentano’s professed concern for medical use of cannabis is but a smokescreen for the complete legalization NORML seeks.
