POT IS DESTROYING OUR YOUTH

ARE YOU at the Sun all stoned as well or what? To respond to Friday's letter
to the editor by saying you don't agree that pot is destroying our youth is
ludicrous to say the least. I have a much younger relative who started using
weed when he was 13 and you should all see him now! After just eight years
of steady use he cannot concentrate on anything for longer than a few
seconds and is, to use the term literally, "a dope." This is happening to a
great deal of our youth at an alarmingly increasing rate and is most likely
thanks to the public's softened stance against pot.

(We share your concerns. What we questioned was the reader's assertion that
pot was "KILLING our youth" - there's no evidence of that)
