...incident by itself would matter all that much. But the weight of the total may exceed the sum of the parts. It seems to be the old problem of the magnifying effect of the White House.

Especially in the case of cancer patients, marijuana may be the only way that acceptable treatment can be endured, and therefore any risks which marijuana may carry with it should be acceptable. Even HEW, in their 1975 report, concluded: "Like everything else (marijuana) should be used...
