DEAR MARY JANE GANJA HERB

You are a weed. No medical association in the world recognizes you or
approves you as medicine.

Components found within you are more dangerous than
tobacco.

Some of the long-term effects that you can produce are short-term
memory loss as well as the inability to do divided-attention tasks.
Therefore, smoking you impairs a person's ability to operate a motor
vehicle. That makes you as dangerous as alcohol on our roads.

You are traded by organized crime groups for cocaine and guns. In the
70s you had a THC level of between 1-2% at maximum.

Now you brag about having a THC level of up to 12%; a six fold
increase.

This is because you are now cloned and mass produced, without soil,
utilizing many chemicals, fertilizers and artificial lights.

You used to be able to say your low THC levels made you non-addictive.
This is no longer true. With more than moderate use, you can now lead
to medical psychosis disconnecting people from reality as well as
causing hallucinations. You have proven now that you bring out
underlying mental illnesses.

Unlike alcohol, which is eliminated quickly from a person's body, you
attach yourself to the fatty areas found within your victim and linger
there for up to 2 weeks.

One of these areas is a person's brain.

Your molecules attach and hinder a growing brain causing possibly
un-reversible damage I feel sorry for the teenagers that smoke you
because they think it's cool. With this said, I have to agree in part
with you Mary Jane Ganja Herb. You definitely are a weed.
