ACCEPTABLE MEDICINE
Dr. George DiFerdinando, the state's deputy health commissioner, decided
last year that seriously ill and dying patients in New Jersey do not need
marijuana as medicine. He said there were acceptable alternatives for those
who would use marijuana as medicine and refused to implement New Jersey's
1981 Controlled Dangerous Substances Therapeutic Research Act, which would
make legal federal marijuana available to patients in New Jersey under a
doctor's care and supervision.
DiFerdinando met my wife Cheryl three years ago as she lay in her reclining
wheelchair. She could not move her arms or legs after 30 years of multiple
sclerosis. He saw her pain. He heard her tell him that marijuana relieved
her pain and spasticity. He sure didn't tell Cheryl to her face that she
already had "acceptable medicine." Cheryl Miller, my wife and the light of
my life, passed away June 7. I can assure you her legal prescription
medicine was not acceptable. Cheryl didn't smoke marijuana. She ate it. When
it was available, she had less pain. Now that was acceptable.
Jim Miller, June 25.
Miller, 51, is a carpenter. A Silverton resident, he works with the Multiple
Sclerosis Patients Union, a group advocating legalized medical marijuana.

ILLEGAL GARDENING?
Person A needs marijuana for medical reasons and gets caught with a couple
of plants in his house. Person B gets caught driving drunk for the ninth
time after being involved in a hit and run, yet faces lesser punishment than
Person A. Why do our lawmakers continue to insist that an illegal gardener
is more of a threat to society than a repetitive drunk driver?
