FIND A BETTER ANSWER

Since I am in my 60s and haven't experienced the effects of using
marijuana in many years ... I decided to give it a try and then form
(or re-form) my opinions of using it. I tried it and started driving
home down McCourtney Road to Penn Valley! On the road I use quite
often, I got lost three times, ran off the edge of the road several
times, lost my phone trying to call for help and completely forgot
how to get home. I sat on the edge of the road for an hour waiting to
be able to continue. I have never been so messed up! It was a
terrible, frightening experience and completely reaffirmed my belief
that the drug (marijuana) is extremely harmful and mind altering!

People who believe its primary benefit is to relieve pain are not
facing reality. You can also relieve severe pain by drinking yourself
into oblivion ... why not open clinics to promote therapeutic, pain
relieving alcohol use?

California would not be overflowing with fields of marijuana if our
lawmakers experienced what I did that night. There has to be a better
answer to this dilemma than legalizing another mind-altering narcotic.
