The prohibitionist on the right need to stop trying to force this issue on people. It’s obviously not a federal issue, or a popular one. Marijuana is nowhere near as deadly as alcohol, regardless of how bad some want it to be. The people who defend alcohol while making weed out to be something it’s not look like foolish hypocrites. They can both be used in moderation without too many problems, but alcohol is responsible for far more deaths statistically. There are too many people who still believe everything the government tells us when it comes to certain issues, when we should be skeptical of everything that comes from the government based on everything we know.

Our government was doing all kinds of illegal and unethical experiments with LSD before demonizing it and stopping all legitimate research. It's no coincidence that the 60’s counter culture movement used LSD at a time our government was testing it on college campuses. They let opiates and other addictive drugs be prescribed while downplaying the dangers, and sent a lot of trusting patients down the road of addiction that lead many to their death. The government can’t exactly be easily trusted on any issue. We don't have to side with the people running things like project MKULTRA and Operation Midnight Climax, or the weird hippies of the 60’s the way many of us still do. Trump should support decriminalizing marijuana at the federal level, and let the states make that decision. Regardless of personal opinions, I don’t see how anyone on the right can see this as a federal issue.

TRUMP 2020!!! - MAGA!!!
