Dear Dr. Humble,
There needs to be a public campaign against marijuana use, particularly exposing the brain damage caused by chronic use of this drug. There are very many people, far too many, who, thanks in part to the introduction of medical marijuana, think that this drug is harmless and therapeutic. There are also many people who insist that any dangers associated with marijuana are solely caused by its illegal status and that legalizing marijuana is a panacea. I urge you to use your position to correct these errors and educate the public on the real dangers of marijuana use.
