RATIONALITY ON POT?

Re "Marijuana slows achievers" (Upfront, Dec. 3):

There are too many variable factors to point toward different 
countries' educational statistics to rationally claim cannabis 
(marijuana) causes lower achievement, unless, truth be told, Washoe 
Assemblymember Pat Hickey is a Republican cannabis prohibitionist 
with an agenda. Further, using Colorado's example, once government is 
forced to regulate cannabis, adolescents have less opportunity to 
acquire the plant than when the black market regulates it. It's time 
to stop caging responsible adults who choose to use the extremely 
popular, relatively safe, God-given plant cannabis.

Truthfully,
