...must congratulate both Diane M. Cardwell, on the editorial piece. "Style Over Substance" (5/13/83), and your staff. Ms. Cardwell's editorial was well written and informative. Rather than abrasively leaving her readers to feel pity for her or humored. Ms. Cardwell made valid points that encourage her readers to seriously evaluate her argument.

Such ethnic-bloc voting (or its equivalent among women voters) is a valid means in a democracy for the political empowerment of ethnic groups who must overcome the vicious forms of ethnic subordination and negation imposed upon then within American society. And, of course, it is hardly necessary to belabor the point that Afro-Americans have endured enormous ethnic subordination...
Federal law currently recognizes no valid medical uses for cannabis, placing it in a class with toxic addictive narcotics such as heroin. In general the speakers at the Marijuana and Health Symposium recommended the revision of public policy to bring it into line with medical understanding. Dr. Tod Mikuriya, formerly in charge of cannabis research for the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), asserted that we have--"not a drug problem--we're dealing with a problem based upon ignorance, denial, hypocrisy, and special-interest greed."
