HERE ARE SOME GOOD REASONS FOR VOTING 'NO' ON MEASURE 91 TO LEGALIZE MARIJUANA

The Resister-Guard on Sept. 9 said safety advocates fear legalized 
pot will boost traffic deaths. The use of marijuana can slow 
decision-making, decrease peripheral vision and impede multitasking, 
all of which are critical driving skills.

On Sept. 11, the Associated Press headline was "Pot producers add 
demand on power grid."

An energy forecast says use will be like that of a small Northwest city.

I have read that children and pet dogs have had convulsions and died 
from eating food that had marijuana in it.

Fish are getting poisoned from the fertilizers and pesticides that 
the marijuana growers pollute the streams.

I will vote "No" on legalizing recreational marijuana, which is measure 91.
