Letter to the Editor: Marijuana column irresponsible

Marijuana column irresponsible

I seriously object to the encouragement of recreational marijuana use to our new students in the Sept. 27 column “Freshman Green” by May Yang. Although the legalization of recreational marijuana is currently on the ballot, such use is still illegal in our state, and the author clearly recognizes that in the article. Furthermore, the author prompts students to ignore potentially dangerous drug effects when using marijuana. I found that the author and editor are, at the very least, irresponsible in publishing this article.
