Ezell Page: A4 WALL ST. WILL EXPLOIT EVILS OF MARIJUANA Is it worth the risk to lose a precious child to the use of marijuana? This question is raised by the Sept. 2 story, "Will traffic deaths rise as states legalize pot?" I applaud The Day for keeping the pot issue going, as it has by quoting several other reliable experts, since Judy Benson's front-page report, "Group urges wariness amid marijuana push: 'We need to stop this train'," (June 18). This may hopefully make Day's readers aware of the increasing pot dangers, especially as evil "Big Marijuana" interests may start lobbying the state, even before the gubernatorial elections in November. There is something else the naive public should realize about the evils of marijuana, which has nothing to do with the potential pro and con of medicinal uses. Investment giant George Soros has been promoting the pro-legalization of the pot industry just like the billionaire tobacco industry did years ago. William H.
