I submitted the following letter to the editor in response to an article that promoted the legalization of marijuana in the City of Detroit.
Here's the letter as published in the Detroit News on Saturday, May 22, 2010:
No pot law in Detroit
The last thing Detroit needs is more stoned people. And thanks to Tim Beck and the proponents of the legalization of marijuana, that's what we'll get should their latest initiative pass ("Initiative would allow pot in Detroit," May 7). Marijuana impairs attention, alters depth and time perception, and causes a decrease in motivation. The impairing effects of marijuana can last 24 hours and more, even though the person doesn't feel the effects. Do you want your doctor, dentist, teacher, police officer or bank clerk high on marijuana?
