The UK has over 25,000 kids in therapy for schizophrenia due to smoking marijuana and has increased the criminal penalties for both using and selling it. The same with Australia. The Aborigine population in Australia has been decimated by the abuse of marijuana.

The Netherlands have closed over 43 of their coffee houses in Amsterdam (where they allow marijuana smoking) and almost all the coffee houses in the other cities have been closed. They have a terrible crime problem there with over eighty gangs there now. The Dutch Supreme Court recently decided that their legal administrator can lawfully change their laws and tell their so-called coffee shops that they cannot sell marijuana to citizens outside of Holland. The Dutch people are fed up with the issue of marijuana, the crime, and the costs to their pocket books via their healthcare services.

With this knowledge, why would anyone with an ounce of common sense want this garbage legalized in California?
