TO WEED OUT INJUSTICES, LEGALIZE POT
I have no desire to smoke marijuana, partly because doing so might
drive me back to the cigarette habit I broke two decades ago. I don't
want to be one of those "cool parents" who pretend to be as
culturally advanced as their kids. In my case, that's a ridiculous
aspiration anyway.
And I agree with those who call attention to the dangers of excessive
indulgence in marijuana and want to encourage people to resist it.
Nobody wants us to become a nation of stoners.
Nonetheless, I have come to believe that we should legalize or at
least decriminalize marijuana use.
