No benefits to marijuana

Editor:

In response to the Full page disertation on the “benefits” of marijuana, the only blowing smoke is you Keith. The obvious reason Pro medical bills are shot down is they open the door to general legalization of the drug.

The same reason the NRA fights restrictions on anything that chips away at the 2nd amendment, however small.

Ask any parent that watched their 10 yr old go down that slippery slope with pot, more serious drugs & crime. You can start with me.

Ask any Law enforcement officer about the harmful effects of marijuana, both healthwise & the social consequenses. To many times the use of this “lala” drug leads to more serious stuff. Then when the honest money runs out, the burglaries & holdups increase in a community. The term “I can quit anytime” is a myth as anyone with any serious habit will tell you.

This great country of ours is gradually slipping down a slippery slope of another kind, much of it due to political correctness and liberal thinkers.

To suggest that police entities are dead set against marijuana because they want more control or money is absolutely Ludicrous!

You need to have a colonoscopy without delay!
