OBAMA NOT COOL

Re: 'Pot no more dangerous than alcohol: Obama,' Jan 20. In an 
obvious attempt to show how cool he is Obama is being irresponsible 
claiming pot is no more harmful than alcohol. As a narcotic pot can 
be very harmful and can lead to addiction. Think of the added impact 
to health systems, adding more addictions would create. Like many 
pushing legalizing pot, Obama is showing blissful blindness of 
studies showing early use of marijuana has been shown to cause 
psychosis later in life. Other studies have shown clearly that 
marijuana time and time again has been shown to be a stepping-stone 
drug to even more addictive narcotics like heroin and cocaine. Having 
someone like Obama make such an irresponsible statement is reprehensible.
