HEALTH RISK

I am concerned and against the legalization of marijuana. It will
result in additional drug abuse, automobile accidents, lung damage and
other health risks.

The contents of marijuana leaves, stems and flowers are not
standardized and naturally contain hundreds of different chemicals. In
addition, unregulated chemicals such as insecticides and fertilizers
may be added to grow marijuana.

Is the state going to control the product's purity and content and, if
so, where is the plan? Legalizing marijuana will create additional new
hazards and risks to the individuals smoking marijuana.

In addition, a prescription drug using the primary active ingredient
of marijuana already exists and is approved by the Food and Drug
Administration for marketing.
