Letter Of The Week

SELF-MEDICATION SHOULD BE A RIGHT

I am extremely disappointed that the East Valley Tribune would oppose
Prop. 203, the medical marijuana initiative. I thought the Tribune
was pro freedom. Apparently I was wrong.

Prop. 203 is substantially different from the medical marijuana laws
in California, Colorado and Montana. If people are opposed to the
use of marijuana for medical reasons, they should not use it. But
don’t dictate to me what I may put into my own body in the privacy of
my own home.

It seems to me that the right to self-medicate should be a
fundamental right. Apparently the East Valley Tribune disagrees.
