MARIJUANA CAUSES NO HEALTH PROBLEMS
Just what "health problems" are you referring to in your May 4 editorial on
the legalization of medical marijuana?
No health problems have been documented in studies among long-term marijuana
users in Jamaica and elsewhere. In fact, the only trend was increased
longevity.
Many people I know on the Big Island have smoked marijuana daily for 50
years, and they have no apparent health problems. The latest lie is that
legalizing marijuana will be a gateway to hard drugs.
