RISK OF MARIJUANA

I respectfully disagree with a letter submitted by Kim Mayhew 
opposing AG Bruner's suit against Colorado due to the increased 
enforcement costs to the state to combat the flow of marijuana into 
Nebraska ("Letter, 12/26: Open eyes to marijuana," Dec. 26).

Too many lives have been lost or ruined by this "gateway" drug. The 
National Survey on Drug Use and Health reports that one in eight 
people over the age of 12 use marijuana in Colorado. Studies suggest 
that marijuana use shrinks brain size.

I have seen what marijuana can do to people as they lose friends, 
family, respect and resources.

Support Nebraska's efforts to curb the use of this dangerous drug.

David Christensen, Beatrice
