MARIJUANA IS A PRETTY POISON

Re "Firms struggle to find workers who can pass a drug test" (Page 
1B, May 18): As society declines drug use increases as things worsen. 
Now businesses struggle to find persons who can pass a drug test. The 
main reason is marijuana. Some governments even promote it for tax income.

Marijuana is affordable, simple and easy to use. It stinks, but 
leaves no aftereffects, no hangover. It impairs users, depressing 
their senses, relaxing them, causing euphoria and false perceptions, 
distorting reality. The effect varies depending on the person, the 
quality and quantity.

There is no test for impairment, only for use. Under stress, an 
adrenaline surge can allow users to act normally for brief periods of 
time. Even "buzzed" their reactions and judgment have varied 
impairment, although they claim they are only "relaxed." Marijuana 
destroys initiative and families, habituating some and addicting 
others, although users don't perceive it.

Marijuana is a pretty poison. It slowly destroys peoples' lives and society.
