In that year, the Massachusetts col- ony gave Richard Fairbanks permission to receive and dis- patch ship marl at his home in Boston. He was paid one cent for every letter he handled. The Boston Post Road was so named because of the postal system begun along it in 1672. Benjamin Franklin was the first great name in American postal service, as co-deputy postmaster general of the col- onies from 1753 to 1774. Another Founding Father, George Washington, helped in surveying post routes to speed the mails. The following information iS part of an educational series of articles . provided by the Drug Awareness Council of the Benevolent and Protective Order of the Elks. Article V MARIJUANA USE AND DRIVING Use of marijuana is having an effect on traffic safety, creating a potential for serious consequences on the highway. For example, a California study indicated that 25 percent of those arrested for un- safe driving were found to be under the influence of marijuana. Studies reported by the American Council for Drug Education have found that marijuana users exper- ience a decreased awareness of themselves and of the environ- ment around them for three to five hours after using the drug. Other side effects of marijuana can include a distorted sense of time, inability to judge distances and speed, reduced peripheral vis- ion, impaired immediate memory, lack of coordination and sleepin- ess - all of which can create driving hazards. Marijuana use among the nation's young, coupled with the relative lack of driving experience of these drivers, indicates a potential for increased accidents and fatalities on U.S. h!ghways and city streets.
