POT AND SCHIZOPHRENIA

The UK has over 25,000 kids in therapy for schizophrenia due to
smoking marijuana and has increased the criminal penalties for both
using and selling it. The same with Australia. The Aborigine
population in Australia has been decimated by the abuse of marijuana.

The Netherlands have closed over 43 of their coffee houses in
Amsterdam (where they allow marijuana smoking) and almost all the
coffee houses in the other cities have been closed. They have a
terrible crime problem there with over eighty gangs there now. The
Dutch Supreme Court recently decided that their legal administrator
can lawfully change their laws and tell their so-called coffee shops
that they cannot sell marijuana to citizens outside of Holland. The
Dutch people are fed up with the issue of marijuana, the crime, and
the costs to their pocket books via their healthcare services.

With this knowledge, why would anyone with an ounce of common sense
want this garbage legalized in California?
