Benn Forsyth DON'T UNLEASH HARMFUL MARIJUANA PLANT IN N.Y. Marijuana misleads when they says it helps the sick, as they don't have to smoke pot. Positive medical components in marijuana can be obtained as prescription pills called Cannabidiol. People don't need to smoke marijuana leaves for medical reasons. Most smokers can't seriously say they smoke it because they are sick. It is obvious that most people only want to get high. The bad side of marijuana is established. It may not be as dangerous for some, but it is a threat to many. About 1 out of 6 young, consistent pot smokers have addictive problems. Don't legalize it or call it safe, lest it bring many new people under its curse. Don't legalize pot just so some others can get a joy ride. Support our fellow humans by legally keeping it away. It's the least we can do to help the human race. C. BENN FORSYTH PERINTON - --- MAP posted-by: Matt
