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.
