POT'S EFFECTS ON AN UNAWARE POPULACE

Re: "Warnings, plain covers for pot packaging," Nov. 22.

Aside from bona fide medical use, it seems pot legalization may help
lull a populace into a sleepwalking oblivion from the world and
issues. More happy campers, more votes?

By the way, will there be surgeon general warnings on pot packages?
Marijuana effects can include secondhand smoke, dependency, mental
impairment, impaired driving, seizures, psychosis, damaged blood
vessels, chronic bronchitis, strokes, heart attack, etc.

Cigarette producers may be rubbing their hands with glee, with finally
a double standard perhaps exonerating them. Then there's the spectre
of bootleg marijuana to underage people. Will the next move be a
marijuana leaf Cannabian flag? Will the motto be Qu'ils mangent de la
brioche - "Let them eat cake," or translated nowadays, "Let them smoke
pot.'
