DRUG HARM? NO

As a supporter of marijuana use, I would like to provide some feedback
("Pot law: a scam," Sept. 3).

I do not believe marijuana does more harm to the body than good, and I
believe there is scientific, if not empirical, evidence to prove this.
I also do not believe that it does more harm than good to communities.
A community's conduct is based on many factors.

Prop. 215 helped to provide for the ill and created regulations at the
same time. This op-ed was over the top. I believe marijuana is an
escape for some and a scapegoat for others.
