Fantastic! And these were run as Op Eds, not LTEs.
IMO, this was some of your best work.
I'm so glad you brought up the TRA. Few people know that Alabama recognized that marijuana had medical value over 30 years ago.
And the socialized medicene comment was great.
Thanks sixstring. It was funny how the oped in both papers came about. I sent Joey Kennedy at the BHAM News a note letting him know that HB386 had been introduced. He replied asking me for a 700 word oped by Wednesday for publication today.
After I sent it to him I decided to trim it down and submit it as an LTE to various other papers. Francis Coleman at the Press Register emailed me back and said she was considering it for publication in today's "Insights" section....but said it was too short and asked if I could add a few hundred words. Never been asked to make it bigger for a newspaper before. So, I sent her the full version and the rest is history.
Hi - I am certainly delighted to discover this. great job!
