GIVE CONSIDERATION TO LEGALIZED POT

I remain so disappointed in the lawmakers unwilling to see the benefits of legalizing marijuana completely.  It helps with more things that ail a person than what will be medically prescribed eventually.  I realize this is a backwards state, just one, among several others.  The laws imposed upon us, by people who can drink their way into oblivion, if they choose, is kind of hypocritical ...  don't you think? They are stuck in a time warp and can't see past their rigid beliefs.  Legalize it.  Put laws on it.  No difference than the rules for drinking.  It is not a gateway drug.

No more than the person taking their first drink is destined to be a drunk.  An addict will be an addict no matter what the substance.

I can understand law enforcement not wanting it to be legit.  I understand the alcohol lobby not wanting it.  Pharmaceutical companies? Don't get me started.

Follow the money, people.  What is even more ridiculous ( since money is such an issue ) is the amount of revenue that would come in from having it taxed.  The state itself would share in the wealth, not the companies that benefit the most by keeping it illegal.  Think, people.  There are those of you out there who will argue this point until your dying day.  Too bad.  Your dying days could have been much easier.
