MARIJUANA HIGH ISN'T SO LONG-LASTING

Re: "Marijuana isn't without its risks," Letter, Jan. 4.

As is typical of marijuana scaremongers, Jack Falk misconstrues the
fact that marijuana metabolites are detectable in the body for a
longer period than alcohol. The effects of marijuana (the high, if you
will), however, are fairly short-lived (two to three hours if smoked,
six to 12 hours if ingested). The letter writer needs to educate
himself a little before making such easily repudiated claims.
