MARIJUANA A SAFE AND EFFECTIVE MEDICINE

A recent letter writer ("Keep marijuana out of medicine cabinets")
shouldn't be concerned about marijuana. It is a safe and effective
medicine that has been used for centuries.

Not one person in recorded history has ever died from a marijuana
overdose. Because pot is nontoxic, it's impossible to overdose on it.

Aspirin, on the other hand, kills thousands of Americans each year. So
do a lot of other prescription drugs.

Marijuana is a nontoxic plant. It is not harmful.

There are no credible studies supporting its illegal
status.
