Dear Editor and Chief:

My name is Brianna Dickerson. I am a sophomore at HCS Early College High School in Conway.
I wanted to address a topic on marijuana because it should be illegal due to all the negative effects it has. Many people believe it cures and helps pain, but studies show that marijuana makes pain more bearable rather than curing it. It causes your immune system to weaken, so you have a chance of getting sick more easily. Marijuana not only gets you hooked, but it will make you have short-term memory loss. If you try and quit smoking marijuana you will exhibit side effects such as anxiety, sleeping difficulties, and cravings.
Many users do not understand that dependency on marijuana is a huge factor. Smoking marijuana does not bring you up to average intellectually; it brings you below your baseline. The damage is permanent! If an adult who began to use marijuana as a teen then stops, they do not regain what is lost. Let’s make marijuana illegal!
Thank you so much for your time. I appreciate your help and hope to hear from you soon.


Sincerely,
Brianna Dickerson
