  This article contains a wonderful quote from Judge William Peck that perfectly sums up the entire issue of drug use and freedom:
   "Any financial harm [Rainbow Country marijuana seller Andrea Nagy] may suffer is outweighed by the concerns of the state in protecting its citizens from alleged illegal drug sales," said the Court of Appeals decision.   What concern is it of the state that some individuals choose to use marijuana to "harm" themselves rather than alcohol or tobacco?   The above quote is followed by another wonderment of doublespeak:   "But the injunction issued in the March decision does not inhibit the lawful medicinal use of marijuana by legitimate patients, the appeals court found."   Excuse me while I wipe the laughter tears from my eyes. I can laugh because I do not suffer from any of the many maladies whose painful symptoms are often relieved by ingestion of marijuana.Sunday, July 25, 1999 GERALD M.
