Dear Editor,
State lawmakers are pushing the legalization of “super weed.” The 500-plus page bill (SB 7) that was introduced earlier this month in Springfield should greatly alarm parents and grandparents:
There is no cap on THC levels. This is the substance that gets users intoxicated. The marijuana of the 1960s and 1970s only contained 1-3 percent THC. Today, the levels are 20 percent or more. The Dutch government walked back their marijuana policy and now considers cannabis with 15 percent THC a hard drug and illegal.
High potency marijuana use is linked to increases in addiction, psychosis, schizophrenia and violence.
