THERE ARE TOO MANY RISKS TO LEGALIZE MARIJUANA

As a local pediatrician, I feel I must weigh in on the legalization 
of marijuana. Ohio, please don't do it. Medicinal purposes are one 
thing, but the current issue legalizes recreational use. The bottom 
line is this: we know that regular marijuana use under the age of 26 
lowers the IQ and that marijuana is a gateway drug. Another thing, 
just because you can tax something doesn't mean you should legalize it.
