MEDICINAL PURPOSES

Re: "Pot advocate charged again," May 24.

So, that dangerous Grant Krieger has been apprehended again, this time with
almost 20 ounces of someone's medicine! That arrest and seizure alone will
surely be the straw that will topple the whole stack of problems regarding
cannabis use and distribution.

Krieger is hardly a threat to public safety. In fact, as a provider of
medicine and as a patient himself, Krieger is one of those rare birds who
stands up to bureaucratic quackery for a patient's right to safe, effective
medicine.
