Keliher said it was relieving to use marijuana legally after thirty years of being a “closet marijuana smoker”. Keliher, who is a former Marine and retired school teacher, was diagnosed with glaucoma in the 1960s. He began to smoke pot in 1967 after hearing that it helped relieve intra-ocular pressure caused by glaucoma. He had been using eye drops, but his eye sight was steadily weakening. Doctors treating him at that time predicted that he would be blind by now. Though he can no longer see in his left eye, his eyesight in his right eye is amazing. He is so satisfied with the results from marijuana that he wrote a book called, “Grandpa’s Marijuana Handbook”. Keliher wants to teach older people who are sick and suffering how to use marijuana.

     Still, there are many problems facing law enforcement officers in California. Marijuana grown for medicinal purposes is legal, but how much is necessary? Law enforcement officers feel it will take time for the medical marijuana law to be enforced fairly.
