Publishers Letters to the Editor Legalizing marijuana To the editor Concerning the prospect of legaliz mg marijuana, there are a number of factors to consider No one. to our knowledge, has put the results of the most recent research more succinct ly than the lions in their booklet, "Lions War on Drugs," with such facts as these "Marijuana reduce* the ability to think, to focus, to concentrate, to create, to learn, to communicate, and to conceptualize It causes permanent damage to the major organs of the body, including the brain The accumulative effect of T H C on the brain is responsible for irreversible brain damage Five typical marijuana cigarettes have the same cancer causing capability as 112 tobacco cigarettes Glands, such as the pituitary, the adrenals, and the male and female se* glands, all produce hormones that are ad versely affected by marijuana ” After smoking one Joint, the de creased reaction time for motor skills needed for such activities as driving an automobile is 41 percent, and after two joints. 63 percent It is also known that use of marijuana with alcohol will prevent the vomit ing of excessive alcohol, holding it in the system and thus triggering death by alcohol that might have been prevented without simultaneous use of marijuana Forty three percent of all mart juana smoking pregnant women will have a miscarriage, still birth, or death of the newborn, compared to eight percent of those who do not smoke marijuana In addition, deformities in children born to marl juana smokers are not uncommon Abuse of alcohol is acknowledged to be a much greater hazard than abuse of marijuana, and the use of alcohol is legal What Pandora 's box will we open if we make marijuana legal, in effect telling our young "not to worry, we now approve " Doesn't it make sense that our government "of the people, by the people, and for the people" should be for the good of the people’ The state of Michigan has de creased alcohol related traffic deaths by 100 per year simply by raising the drinking age isee The American Issue. June. 19*4' At though this is a separate issue, it illustrates the immediate and direct effect that legislation has on the health and lives of Americans The question has been raised doesn't the cost of legislating and controlling the use of marijuana make It impractical to continue its banning’ We might just as well ask. why license doctors and other health professionals’ It's so expensive Or why require driver's licenses’ Why regulate prescription drugs, the drinking age. or drunk driving’ It's so expensive The cost of government is high, and we feel that the above mention ed reasons alone should mandate the continuing ban on the use of m ari juana The cost of legalizing it may prove to be beyond our greatest fears Write to the appropriate legisla tors And get out and vote Can we afford not to’ Sincerely Yours.
