To the editor:

On Election Day, Massachusetts residents went to the polls and voted by an almost 3 to 2 margin to approve the use of “medical” marijuana.  This vote, however, did not change the science behind the health risks of smoking marijuana and its status as an addictive drug. DanversCARES’ role as a prevention coalition is to educate the community about preventing drug use, particularly among teens, so we will continue to provide information on this topic.

When we look at the research and the medical information regarding the risks of marijuana use, we know that the following is true:

n Marijuana is the most commonly used illicit drug.

n Medical marijuana in states that have such laws has been diverted to teens.

n Marijuana smoke contains 50-70 percent more carcinogens than tobacco smoke, contributing to the risk of cancer of the lungs, mouth and tongue.

n In the past 15 years, the potency of Marijuana (THC content) has more than tripled from 3 percent to more than 11 percent, making today’s drug highly addictive.
