Editor -- Re: Letter from Hazel Rodgers, ``U.S. In Dark Ages On Marijuana
Use,'' January 22.

Perhaps the most interesting use of medical marijuana, and in this case a
``single exposure'' has been known to work miracles, is in the cue of that
mysterious psychological condition which renders otherwise intelligent
humans willfully ignorant of the truth about the drug.

In agreement with Ms. Rodgers, I would say that the demonization of
marijuana is a crowd madness on a scale not seen since the medieval
Inquisition.
