Peg, important as this matter is (and although I don't have any of these particular medical problems myself, I have a couple of friends who have gone through the rigors of chemotherapy, so I am not unsympathetic to the situation), I think there are more important issues at stake. Such as the collapsing economy, the assault on civil liberties, the likelihood of future pre-emptive wars, a reasonable approach to the threat of terrorism, and the esteem of the rest of the world, to mention a few. Let me ask you this: If you had your choice between Bush and Dean, would you vote for Bush because you disagree with Dean about his stand on the marijuana issue?
