CONTROLS ARE NEEDED FOR LEGAL MARIJUANA USERS

Editor:

For a vehicle user, the most dangerous road situations are those
driving under the influence of alcohol, drugs and cell phones. It is
naive to believe that smoking marijuana is going to eliminate the
cause of blindness from glaucoma, or the effects of diabetes, or heart
disease, yet charlatan doctors can issue a prescription allowing the
dangerous use of marijuana.

As a senior citizen with glaucoma, diabetes, and heart disease, I
cannot imagine responsible doctors providing a prescription of
marijuana to satisfy the drug cravings of those with prescription
manageable chronic diseases.

Tehama County Superintendents have a responsibility to ensure that
dangerous marijuana drug users do not endanger drivers, school
children and neighborhoods.

The proposed Tehama county ordinance restricting growing sites is
beneficial for the majority who do not use dangerous drugs.
