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.
