Street Talk:
Should Maine Allow Marijuana Use For Medical Purposes?
 

HAL MOSCOWITZ
Retired
Old Orchard Beach

"Yes. If someone is ill there should be nothing to interfere with their getting better. It's OK as long as doctors control it. It shouldn't get out of hand."

RICHARD JEMEL
Restaurateur
Old Orchard Beach

"Absolutely. I have arthirits and am allergic to medication. It's the only thing that keeps me going and I work 16 hours a day."

DOLLARD SIMARD
Retired
Saco

"My opinion is that I think they should legalize marijuana under a prescription by a doctor. It's no different than other types of pain relief and medication. But not for any recreational use."

CHRISTINE REEDER
Nurse
Saco

"Yes. They should, as long as it's controlled by the physician and the family. There should be tight reins on it, and it should be for medical use only."

CATHERINE GLYNN
Stay-at-home mom
Saco

"I think they should legalize it for medical use. Alcohol is legal and is not used in a positive way. I think marijuana is less addictive and has potentially positive uses. I think it will be legalized in my lifetime."
