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.
