MARIJUANA VIEWS DRAW RESPONSE
Regarding Marc Ander's "Legal pot is not a better idea" (The NOW, Sept. 7),
the director of Airspace Action on Smoking and Health bases his support of
marijuana prohibition on the blatantly false assumption that "marijuana
smokers get lung cancer almost as often as their nicotine-using
counterparts." I challenge Mr. Ander to list some (any?) of those
unfortunates who have contracted lung cancer from exclusively smoking
marijuana. Please - not from a non-peer-reviewed, small, discredited "study.
