MARIJUANA DOES MORE HARM THAN GOOD

In response to George Deutsch's Jan. 13 column:

Every point that Mr. Deutsch tried to make about marijuana was totally
off base. Marijuana changes your perception and is like living in a
totally different world. You feel almost immortal.

So, yes, rape, death and jail are all very likely consequences of
smoking marijuana.

Death may not come from a friend shooting you or something drastic
like that, but it is very likely to happen.

Most people drive when they become high, to buy food, get more drugs,
or because they think they are completely capable of driving. Driving
while high is kind of like driving when drunk. Perceptions are changed
and reflexes are slowed. So, for Mr. Deutsch to imply that marijuana
is harmless is crazy, and now he is the one "spreading
misinformation."
