Marijuana is considered a Schedule I drug, classified as
potentially abusive, lacking in any accepted medical usage, and unsafe
for human use. A number of medical and scientific studies show that
marijuana usage can adversely affect the lungs, the cardiovascular
system, and possibly the immune and reproductive systems as well. It is
also well established that excessive marijuana usage can adversely
affect a person's coordination and impair their motor and
decision-making skills. Certain psychological health problems and
various forms of nefarious behavior have also been associated with the
drug. In many cases, marijuana usage has become the starting point for
many young people leading to the use of more dangerous drugs.

I appreciate having your thoughts on this matter. I believe
that marijuana is still a dangerous drug, and I do not intend to support
legislation that would legalize its usage.

Please do not hesitate to contact me when I can be of service
to you in any way.


Sincerely yours,
