"In the United States, the issue of the legalization of marijuana is emotionally loaded for many people. Some get upset even at the recommendation that marijuana be legalized for medicinal use. Different factions could argue the question ad infinitum. But as a physician who practiced at one time in a country where authorities tolerantly looked the other way when marijuana was used medicinally, I must take the side of those favoring legalization for treatment of chronic pain, muscle spasms and some other conditions. ... I believe that education is one way to overcome the societal forces that continue to deprive those whose pain and suffering would yield to marijuana. For this reason, I'm grateful to R.C. Randall and Galen Press."
