George F. Will is right ["Rocky Mountain high," op-ed, Nov. 29]: The medical marijuana movement is partly a fiction, a stand-in for legalization. This is not to say that marijuana does not relieve a wide range of ailments. It does. But if Mr. Will and Colorado Attorney General John Suthers believe that medical marijuana will cause people to lose faith in the legal system and "care less as law itself loses its dignity," they are living in their own fictional world.

The fact that tens of millions of Americans use marijuana -- for medical purposes or otherwise -- is testament to the disrespect for some laws that marijuana prohibition engenders.

This disrespect didn't start with the medical marijuana reforms; it has been going on since the misinformation and outright lies that were used to drum up support for marijuana prohibition were accepted by a gullible Congress in the 1930s.

It's time to rectify both fictions -- medical marijuana and prohibition -- through full legalization.
