LEGAL MARIJUANA A MISTAKE

To all cannabis users, the short-term effects of marijuana include: 
distorted perception, sight, sounds, time, touch, problems with 
memory, learning, loss of coordination, trouble with thinking, 
problem-solving and sometimes marijuana use can also produce anxiety, 
fear, distrust, or panic.

Look up the active ingredient in marijuana, delta-9 
tetrahydrocannabinol or THC. Because of the lower blood pressure and 
higher heart rate, researchers found that users' risk for a heart 
attack is four times higher within the first hour after smoking 
marijuana, compared to their general risk of heart attack when not 
smoking. Marijuana is not good for the public or individuals. Then 
there is the unpleasant smell. What were these voters thinking?
