F. .identify the stated main main ideas and/or formulated the implied main ideas
The main idea is to clear about the fallacy on Marijuana.All the statement made by
Bierson is wrong to him and it is not valid at all.But,in his letter,he said it is not a proper
statement to claim that marijuana is "harmless" either. Even though the properties of
marijuana have shown not to be physically addictive, one can become psychologically
addicted. However, this is true of just about anything that can give one pleasure, such as
chocolate, gambling, or shopping. No substance will be safe for everybody, under all
circumstances, or when used in excessive amounts. For example, over-the-counter
medications can be deadly for those who are allergic or who overdose. On the other hand,
marijuana overdose has never been a sole reported cause of death: the amount of
cannabinoids required to have a lethal effect are more than 40,000 times the necessary
dosage for intoxication, making it highly unlikely that a person would be able to or could
be able to achieve such a concentrated amount in their bloodstream.
