LEGAL MARIJUANA WOULD HARM YOUTHS

Mr.  Dan Linn, the director of Illinois NORML, wants this state to legalize cannabis for taxation purposes to help the state out of its debt and for supposedly adult consumption.

That's purely irresponsible.  Underage usage would still be there, the same as with alcohol, and would cause health issues and other problems and even deaths.

The Illinois state lottery was supposed to go for schools and help with some social programs.  Take a good and honest look at these now -- and you want the state to legalize cannabis?
