DON'T LEGALIZE MARIJUANA

Elected government officials are not concerning themselves with the
effects of marijuana legalization. The only people who should be
prescribing any type of drug are doctors and then only to patients who
require them for pain relief from serious illness.

If the legal age for purchasing drugs is 18 you can be sure that 
unscrupulous types will provide drugs to those who are younger. With the 
high number of young people dead from drug overdoses, it would seem that 
this first step to addiction should not be legal. Legalization of 
marijuana needs to be stopped before it is started.
