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 short sighted 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.
