MARIJUANA NOT THE WAY TO RAISE FUNDS

First and foremost, marijuana has nothing to do with individual
freedoms. It is a drug. It is addictive. About 1 in 6 who smoke it go
on to seeking higher highs. Driving under its influence can get you
killed. It causes IQ loss and affects cognitive skills. Stoned people
do stupid things.

When you come down from your "high," the real world is still there and
it requires power of reason, temperance and self-control, qualities
not associated with getting stoned.

There certainly are better ways to handle the issue of tax revenues.
Why not start by reducing spending?
