SMOKING MARIJUANA HARMFUL IN MANY DIFFERENT WAYS

In response to Stan White of Dillon, Colo., Pot Smoking Capital of 
the USA. Smoking marijuana has been proven to damage social life, 
ruin job opportunities, give anger issues, decrease motor skills and 
create vehicle accidents, increased heart rate, disorientation, lack 
of coordination, depression, going to sleep and not waking up on time 
and then feeling tired.

Long-time joint smokers often suffer from bronchitis and inflammation 
of the respiratory tract. Smoking marijuana in heavy use can cause 
brain abnormalities. Taking the medicinal ingredients (THC) from 
marijuana and putting it in pill form or oil will aid the medical 
needs just like smoking it and it will not disrupt nerve cells in the 
brain like smoking does.

Do you really want to chance harming our kids with this ridiculous 
idea of smoking marijuana for medical reasons? Go down this road and 
it will give the green light to our kids now and in the future.
