MARIJUANA SHOULD NOT BE LEGALIZED
The danger is growing in this country that marijuana
will be legalized. To do so would be disastrous for two
reasons: 1) we do not know how harmful marijuana is;
2) it leads to the use of heroin. (Ninety percent of heroin
addicts started out on marijuana.)
How harmful is marijuana? You will not find out
from M.D.’s who work for companies that want marijuana
legalized so they can reap financial gain by exploiting
the sale of it. Far better to rely cn insurance companies,
whose profits depend on keeping people healthy.
According to Metropolitan Life Insurance Company,
marijuana causes psychological addiction, leads to loss of
energy, loss of ambition, loss of motivation, and causes
hallucinations. In the words of the New York Daily News:
“It makes him or her a good-for-nothing bum.”
Dr. D. Harvey Powelson, director of the Student
Psychiatric Clinic at Berkeley, has treated 500 student
marijuana smokers over the last five years. It appears
to have a cumulative effect, he said, causing chronic
changes “similar to those seen in organic brain diseases
— islands of lucidity intermixed with areas of loss of
function.”
According to Dr. Frank Ayd, many of those who
want to legalize marijuana disregard expert medical
opinion that it is “a dangerous drug.” Nor do they tell
the public that there are at least six different types of
marijuana. While increased doses may induce stupor,
semicoma or coma, any dose “may cause anxiety, depres
sion with suicidal tendencies, confusion, depersonalization,
temporal disorientation, impaired judgment, panic reac
tions, paranoia and psychosis.”
Every year, according to the insurance companies,
30,000 Americans are killed and more than 500,000 are
injured on America's highways because of alcoholic
drivers. Legalization of marijuana and widespread pro
motion of the drug could double the number of persons
killed and injured on our highways.
The recent report of the President’s National Com
mission on Marijuana and Drug Abuse recommended
dropping all penalties against possession and use of mari
juana “in small doses ' On behalf of your children and
grandchildren, it would be well to write your Congress
man, or the President directly, and tell him how you feel
about it.

I am opposed to the wilder
ness concept primarily because
it benefits so few at the ex
pease of so many. There are
9,925,352 acres of wilderness
and 4,363,954acresof primitive
acres in the United States to
day.
This makes an area of
14,289,306 roadless acres.
These are acres in which there
can be no mechanized equip

game.
According to forest
service figures there were about
1,000,000 people who used these

This is absolutely true IF YOU
DON’T CONSIDER TIME AS
MONFY, BUT if you are one
of the common working stiffs
with only 2 weeks vacation to
look forward to, back packing
isn’t your bag.
Most of our
young people have very young
children and are adverse to
taking their children out of
contact of medical facilities.
There are millions of others
who are incapable of hiking far
into the wilds due to bodily
infirmities. I always wanted to
pack back into the wilds but
when I was younger I was too
busy making a living and now
I doubt if my legs could take

At

and appreciation to my daughter

Eddy Sharp, for the excellent

friends for the lovely cards,

of kindness.
