WE DON'T NEED MORE POT RESEARCH

RE: MARIJUANA

Can we please stop with the "more" research on marijuana? The only
research that is needed is to determine how much good it can do medically.

Everyone knows why it was banned decades ago - so they could sell more
pills. There is not one recorded death due to overdose, no one has
ever gotten stoned and gone on a killing spree, no one has ever smoked
pot and driven 150 km/h on the highway. Just recently we are finding
out about CBD's helping people with Parkinsons, arthritis, and seizures.

So let's concentrate on the more important things in our life, like
the opioid crisis, our failing education system, our crumbling health
care, rising poverty, the list could go on.

Stop wasting our tax dollars, and let's get on with the important
business of life.
