Letter: Boldt off base on marijuana

Reading the interview with the candidates for Clark County Council chair, specifically Marc Boldt’s answer regarding the legalization of marijuana, tells me he isn’t qualified to hold the position. There have been many studies, over a long period of time, about the health effects of marijuana, and the majority of them indicate it’s much less harmful than alcohol and, especially, cigarettes, yet those are available everywhere. If he wants to keep his head in the sand, that’s fine, but maybe next time decline to answer so as to not display his ignorance on a subject he apparently doesn’t know much about.
