Letter: No To Marijuana Use For Whatever Reason

Medical marijuana was a bad idea from the start and it is not getting any better with age. The last thing our society needs is pot being held up to our youth as a medicine. They will line up in even greater numbers to smoke pot illegally, without a prescription, claiming that they are "just taking their medicine."
Pot in all its forms is a bad idea, including its so-called medicinal use.
There is no way inhaling the smoke of any dried plant is healthy. The effects of smoking devil weed have been shown to be at least as detrimental as smoking tobacco, with the same kinds of tars and many of the same carcinogens.
No to marijuana. No to tobacco. No to all street drugs. And, no to the worst of all drugs without question, alcohol. |
