NO TO MARIJUANA USE FOR WHATEVER REASON

Medical marijuana was a bad idea from the start and it is not getting
any better with age. The last thing our society needs is pot being
held up to our youth as a medicine. They will line up in even greater
numbers to smoke pot illegally, without a prescription, claiming that
they are "just taking their medicine."

Pot in all its forms is a bad idea, including its so-called medicinal
use.

There is no way inhaling the smoke of any dried plant is healthy. The
effects of smoking devil weed have been shown to be at least as
detrimental as smoking tobacco, with the same kinds of tars and many
of the same carcinogens.

No to marijuana. No to tobacco. No to all street drugs. And, no to the
worst of all drugs without question, alcohol.
