WHY HAVEN'T EXPERTS WEIGHED IN ON LEGAL POT?

Where is the surgeon general? Where are the physicians? Even the 
American Medical Association has softened its stance. All have 
intimate knowledge of the debilitating effect marijuana has on the 
central nervous system, yet they remain silent when attempts are made 
by state legislatures to legalize a substance known to have a 
long-lasting impact on society.

If it becomes legal for adults, the more vulnerable youngsters will, 
in all likelihood, feel free to give it a try, and many who do so 
will find that this experiment will lead to trying hard drugs.

Isn't it time for those who know better to step up and represent the 
current and future victims?
