US: A victory for marijuana users

San Jose Mercury News

Wednesday 24 Dec 1997

Terry Parker won an epic, 20-year battle to secure the right to grow
the pot he smokes as part of his treatment for epilepsy.

If marijuana fumes are judged beneficial to some medical conditions,
could the substance not be judged beneficial in other ways too?

It may be stretching the point made by judge Sheppard, but the
Guelp-based Church of the Universe, which reputedly features marijuana
as part of its ritual, also just had its case strengthened.

As we say, it may be stretching the point. Evidence presented at the
Parker trial showed only that the substance works to the good of
epileptics like Parker whose bodies do not respond to conventional
treatments.

For most of the rest of us, the evidence shows only that regular,
moderate use of marijuana causes no physical or psychological harm.

Sounds rather like a chalice of good wine.
