McWILLIAMS HAD OPTION FOR ALTERNATE MEDICINE
We are certainly saddened at the death of anyone,including Peter McWilliams.
But it's hardly reasonable for letter writer Diane Fallon to expect us to believe he died from
lack of marijuana ["Let judge know your feelings on McWilliams," Letters,June 28]. her
statement, "he is now dead because a judge forbade him to smoke marijuana..." is hardly
logical. It is more likely McWilliams died from AIDS.
Fallon doesn't help make the case for smoking marijuana. Any doctor could have prescribed
marinol,an extract of marijuana,for the ethical relief of pain for McWilliams.
Sure, I'll write the judge,as she suggests. I'll tell him we already have the benefit of marijuana
to relieve pain, which does not require smoking it. But then the judge probably already
knows that.
