Why Marijuana Should Remain Illegal

What are the facts about recreational marijuana?  Are you sure pot is harmless?  And should it be legal?

While the multi-billion dollar marijuana lobby insists that cannabis is harmless, more and more researchers and medical professionals are reaching a different conclusion.

Based on facts and up-to-date science, this post will help you cut through the fog of misinformation and discover what recreational marijuana is doing to disrupt and destroy the moral and social fabric of America.

1. Marijuana Intoxication Warps Reality

Marijuana is a form of intoxication. Anyone who becomes intoxicated surrenders their ability to make sound moral decisions.  Free will is either compromised or lost for a period of time.

However, people see this intoxication as a means to escape from reality.  Pop culture worships immediate pleasure so much that it prods us to give up our most noble faculty -- reason -- in exchange for a mind-numbing "experience."  Some people even risk their lives for a fleeting sensation of pleasure or excitement.

Drug abuse holds sectors of America hostage.  According to the National Center for Health Statistics, 192 families per day lost someone to a drug overdose in 2017.[1]  That’s the same as a plane crash a day in the U.S.

The dangers of marijuana psychosis and schizophrenia are very real and a big contributor to mental illness and homelessness.

The Federal Government should have no say in whether pot is legal or illegal, except as applies to federal facilities and Bureaus.

States should definitely keep it illegal.

Is alcohol harmless? Should it be legal?

Maybe the Seattle Seahawk’s management has been smoking to much of that stuff. They just signed muzzie Colin Krap-On-His-Dick to a 1 year deal.

Results since legalization in Canada show that conservatives, and other concerned Americans should support legalization. Prices are higher, and supplies are inadequate, in the legal marketplace. Meanwhile, the black market is flooded with top-shelf supply, and prices remain low — and free of sales, customs, and excise taxes. (There’s so much irony involved, sarcasm is unnecessary.)

Not to mention, suicide among adolescents and young adults. My nephew succumbed to that at age 20.
