HARD DRUG USERS STARTED WITH POT

EDITOR:

I would like to make an addendum to the fine Talk of the Town written by County Attorney Sheila Polk ( "Think Marijuana is harmless? Think again," Sept.  7 ).

As a retired law enforcement officer and supervisor of a narcotics detail, I can unequivocally say that while recreational use of marijuana will not necessarily lead to harder drugs ( meth, cocaine, heroin, PCP, etc.  ), the vast majority of hard drug users started on marijuana.
