To the editor:
Marijuana use in this country is a sad addiction for many of our young adults and, unbelievably, a frequent-use addiction for too many middle-aged adults.
The loss of health, ambition, enterprise and intestinal fortitude in those who abuse this drug is incalculable.
Studies show marijuana remains in your system for three weeks after use, and can even affect your genetic makeup adversely, so as to damage the health of future generations.
I don’t support the legalization of marijuana nor will I ever do so. I do support the all-out war the police carry on against the grow operations that supply addicts with this insidious drug and the use of our tax dollars to do so.
