BEYOND POT RHETORIC

Regarding "Pot-Smoking May Have Little Lasting Effect on the Brain,
Research Suggests" (July 14): Thank you for having the courage to
report the UC San Diego study and its conclusion regarding long-term
pot usage that is not politically correct. Reportage such as yours is
badly needed to counter the misinformation of drug war zealots whose
campaign is responsible for a pervasive paranoia that puts a chill on
the public debate on pot use.
