My Letter to Congress: H.R.2306 Ending Federal Marijuana Prohibition Act of 2011

I am writing as your constituent in the 10th Congressional district of Texas. I support H.R.2306 - Ending Federal Marijuana Prohibition Act of 2011.

It is important to me that we live in a civil society where the federal government has absolutely no role in regulating personal habits of the citizens.

Sincerely,
Peter Sorice

Dear Friend:
Thank you for contacting me regarding efforts to legalize marijuana. I welcome your thoughts and comments.

As drug use continues to rise in our country, especially among our youths, I believe we need to send a message that all illegal drug use is dangerous. We can win the war on drugs, but we will not do so by legalizing marijuana or encouraging its use for any purpose.

Researchers have found that marijuana use can adversely affect brain activity and the respiratory system, lead to increases in heart rate and blood pressure, and impair critical skills related to attention, memory, and learning. In addition, the harmful chemical in marijuana, delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), has been linked to low birth weight and impaired motor development in children whose mother used marijuana.

I appreciate hearing from you, and I hope that you will not hesitate to contact me on any issue that is important to you.

Sincerely,
Kay Bailey Hutchison
