GRAB A BRAIN TRUDEAU

Justin Trudeau's plan to legalize and tax marijuana to keep it out of
the hands of our youth is not only naive, but shortsighted and stupid.
Both alcohol and tobacco are legal but that does not prevent those
products making their way to the young.

Legalization of those products has led to the formation of a black
market, entry of organized crime and taxes not being recovered.

The same thing would happen if pot is legalized. But there is a bigger
problem Trudeau and his followers are ignoring.

Many recent studies, especially those in the U.K. have shown a direct
link between marijuana usage and psychosis and other mental problems.

Should we be adding more problems to our struggling health care
problems by following Trudeau's advice?

He continues to tell crowds what they want to hear, without engaging
the thought process.
