A MARIJUANA ADDICT FOR 25 YEARS

RE: LEGALIZATION of marijuana. After being a marijuana addict for 25
years I choked on the letter writer's view that "the only harm is
slight memory loss." For me, and many others who end up smoking every
waking moment, it leads to extreme isolation and loss of control over
our emotions, especially anger. I agree alcohol destroys more lives.
However, to justify one evil with another is ludicrous.
