FAILURE NOT NECCESARILY A RESULT OF SMOKING POT

In response to "I've seen tragic results of smoking marijuana" (July
16 Forum):

Elaine Derry's attempt to blame her friend's failure to achieve his
goals on smoking pot is absurd. It could just as well have been the
brand of soda he drank or the TV he watched. Most likely it was a
complex set of personal choices and unique circumstances that should
not be over simplified.
