‘Reefer’ Responsibility

With regard to “Reefer Madness, ‘90s Style” (Oct. 9), when is the entertainment industry going to wake up to the fact that it just doesn’t simply reflect trends in its material but, in fact, amplifies these trends by giving them prominence?

Marijuana may again be in vogue in some quarters, but this does not give license to movie makers or TV producers to help this socially irresponsible and dangerous trend expand, particularly since children will ultimately be affected.

We urge responsible individuals at all levels of the entertainment industry to vigorously oppose the production of any material that glorifies the use of marijuana or any other illicit drug.
