HIGH RISK

The risk of developing lung cancer, according to the American Cancer 
Society, is 10 times higher in those who smoke anything. All forms of 
smoking, including smokeless tobacco, put the user at increased risk 
for cancer of any part of the oral cavity, from lip and tongue to 
mouth and throat.

The American Medical Association in an updated report labeled 
marijuana "a dangerous drug." Tolerance in users develops rapidly and 
leads to escalating use.

These facts should be taken into consideration before voting to 
legalize recreational use. Many physicians feel continued use can 
lead to psychological changes.
