I just wanted to send a quick message and thank you for David Hohendorf’s column (From The Publisher) about marijuana in the February Downtown newsmagazine.

I feel this topic needs to be discussed in a public forum more often so we can educate the general public on the facts.

It is mind numbing when our current administration continues to spew the same old talking points from 40 plus years ago without referencing scientific research on said issue.

Thank you again and I hope articles like this continue to open the eyes of closed-minded folks in our own neighborhoods.
