Amendment 2 Foes Point to Study on Marijuana's Effects

Opponents of Amendment 2, a proposal to expand medical marijuana in Florida, pointed to a World Health Organization researchers study on the impact of marijuana.

This study is one of the strongest signs yet that the regular use of marijuana carries tremendous unwanted health risks, said Calvina Fay, the executive director of the Drug Free America Foundation. Studies such as these confirm that efforts to legalize marijuana in Florida do not have the health and well-being of Floridians in mind.

The report from Wayne Hall shows marijuana usage leads to addiction and higher risks of other problems including psychotic symptoms and schizophrenia.
