MARIJUANA HAS AUTHENTIC LEGITIMATE USES

For those of you out there silently screaming every time marijuana is
accused of bringing down our community and now prostituting our
children but can't speak out because of this mentality, let me.

There should have been some guidelines and preparation before all this
happened. Oh, well. Move on, move forward and make some necessary
changes. But to say that marijuana is the cause of all evil, please!

Prescription drugs kill our children and where do they get these? I
guess it's easier to blame those "pot smokers" than address some real
issues at home? And don't get me started on alcohol!

Stop this mob inciting mentality and look at the people who have
legitimate reasons and get real! By the way, I had a front row seat
watching someone I loved die of cancer so I know real.
