RE: WALTER F. WOUK'S MARCH 21 LETTER

RE: WALTER F. Wouk's March 21 letter in which he challenged you to cite one
study regarding moderate marijuana usage in adults. Would you like to try
again? I'm sure I won't be alone in noting that you could not cite a study
proving danger and further, that you begged the question by changing the
focus to teenagers. (Marijuana distracts the user from basic educational
goals during teenage years.) How sloppy, both logically and factually.

Paul Hansen

(A recent Scottish study suggests lung problems. Other studies link heavy
marijuana usage to brain tumours and some hooked teens drop out of high
school.)
