LEGAL POT WOULD BE DETRIMENTAL

Re "Newsom takes high road on marijuana" (Forum, Dan Morain, July 
26): What real value does legalizing marijuana for recreational use 
have? A euphemism for marijuana is dope. Its sole purpose is to get 
someone high. Isn't it enough that smoking cigarettes has been proven 
to be hazardous to our well-being?

Instead of moving forward to a better future for our children and 
society, our lieutenant governor has nothing better to do than to 
promote this legislation legalizing a drug that will detrimentally 
alter not only your lungs, but every organ in your body. And, with 
this product, you can bake as well as smoke it. Yippee.

Why are we even giving it our time of day? Plain and simple, Big 
Money is sponsoring this and they plan to get richer. They will tell 
you the taxes will benefit us. There is no benefit. And, don't tell 
me to get used to it.
