Denver Post, 12 Apr 2013 – Re: "Though marijuana is legal, it’s still harmful," April 9 letter to the editor. It is true that marijuana is harmful, as letter-writer Barbara Allen points out. However, as someone in the medical field who has worked with clients who abuse every kind of drug there is – from alcohol to methamphetamines to legal prescription medication- I would much rather take care of someone who has smoked or ingested marijuana. I can’t say that I have ever had to fight with a combative individual or worry that someone will go into a seizure and die when they have been smoking marijuana. It is a choice by an individual to experiment with any substance. Let’s educate people and hope that they make right choices.
