Beyond pot rhetoric

Regarding “Pot-Smoking May Have Little Lasting Effect on the Brain, Research Suggests” (July 14): Thank you for having the courage to report the UC San Diego study and its conclusion regarding long-term pot usage that is not politically correct. Reportage such as yours is badly needed to counter the misinformation of drug war zealots whose campaign is responsible for a pervasive paranoia that puts a chill on the public debate on pot use.
