Marijuana is unhealthy for the youth and <br /> could lead to other more serious types of drug use. <br /> I have seen marijuana being used in public by adults and youths. Please continue drug <br /> education. I also want more alternatives for the youth so we can keep them away from <br /> temptation. I want my children to grow up in an environment as free as possible from the <br /> influences of marijuana. <br /> A reduction in marijuana will lead to a reduction in violence. Marijuana patches are a <br /> danger to hikers, hunters, plant gatherers, and neighbors of growing areas who may <br /> stumble across the patches and growers. <br /> I want funding to enhance substance abuse treatment centers. I think in -jail therapy <br /> programs for prisoners would help them to develop coping skills and insights into their <br /> drug abuse. <br /> If it is necessary to conduct aerial spraying, it should be in accordance with strict federal <br /> guidelines. Helicopters should maintain a minimum distance from residences, to reduce <br /> resident concerns of physical safety and peace of mind. <br /> Thank you for your consideration. <br /> Sincerely, 420) <br />
