MARIJUANA USE HAS NEGATIVE EFFECTS

I am disturbed about the support some people express for legalizing 
marijuana, saying it would create jobs and help the economy and 
people's health.

I was director of student activities at the University of Toledo from 
1967 to 1976, when the use of marijuana hit campus. The negative 
effects of marijuana use were noticeable.

A fraternity in one year went from 105 members to five, because many 
dropped out of school, grades were negatively affected, and what was 
normally a part of motivation to do well and get a degree went by the wayside.
