Dear Mr. AnonymousThanks for contacting me regarding marijuana. It's nice to hear from you. I'm against legalization of marijuana except when the appropriate authorities recommend that it be studied as a treatment for disease. As you may know, a National Institute of Health panel has made such a recommendation. I want you to know that I am concerned about limiting any medical treatment that might be the best possible treatment for disease. I also believe that if marijuana is legalized for medicinal purposes, appropriate safeguards against abuse must be in place. You can be sure that I will pay close attention to research on the medicinal uses of marijuana. Again, thanks for contacting me. Please let me know if I can be of help to you in the future. Sincerely, Barbara A. Mikulski United States Senator can anyone else try to help me persuade this senator if your from md, i tried to promote the merp (M.R.R.P.) plan but it seems not to be affecting to her, but it was nice i got a real letter and not an automatic response
