POT, WELL-BEING AND LEGALITY

Editor -- Kudos to you and Susan Greenfield on publishing her recap of
previously published, and tiresome, studies suggesting that maybe pot
affects the mind, perhaps in ways some may not find beneficial.

Now, if the Oxford professor would explain whether she is advocating
keeping marijuana illegal. Perhaps she is arguing by extension that we
should prohibit other, oftentimes harmful, legal drugs such as alcohol,
nicotine, caffeine, refined sugar, cooking grease and aspirin.

While she's at it perhaps she could explain why young people benefit more
from experiencing prison rather than from experiencing marijuana.
