Both sides of the marijuana issue is all about the addiction people have for more government control of something you should be able to grow in your garden like a tomato or cucumber.
“Tax, control and regulate” as the Prop. 19 proponents have adopted as their motto is just more police state politics that does nothing for anyone’s good...
Fortunately, I don’t see too many strung psychotics who have been abusing tomatoes and cucumbers in the psych ER. I cannot say the same thing for marijuana, which I have seen used as a tool to ruin more than a few lives.
It’s not nearly as benign as some make it out to be, particularly when used at a young age.
