Strange enthusiasm

Your coverage of the opening of medical marijuana dispensaries in Arkansas was fascinating. People standing 200 deep to pay $400 out-ofpocket to fill their medical marijuana prescription. Camping out overnight and then the next day joyously fistpumping their way out of the facility.

If patients would be 10 percent as enthusiastic about obtaining medications to treat their high blood pressure, cholesterol, and diabetes, maybe our hospitals, medical office buildings, and dialysis facilities would not be bursting at the seams. MICHAEL L. MOULTON Fayetteville
