Brown Note: Parenthetical remark by the Sun editor, headline by newshawk POT IS DESTROYING OUR YOUTH ARE YOU at the Sun all stoned as well or what? To respond to Friday's letter to the editor by saying you don't agree that pot is destroying our youth is ludicrous to say the least. I have a much younger relative who started using weed when he was 13 and you should all see him now! After just eight years of steady use he cannot concentrate on anything for longer than a few seconds and is, to use the term literally, "a dope." This is happening to a great deal of our youth at an alarmingly increasing rate and is most likely thanks to the public's softened stance against pot. R. Brown Hamilton (We share your concerns. What we questioned was the reader's assertion that pot was "KILLING our youth" - there's no evidence of that) - --- MAP posted-by: Josh
