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.

(Like it or not, the pot debate is going to happen here very soon.
