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."
