I am hard over opposed to legalizing Marijuana!

In researching the “results” of legalization, I can find no dispassionate, objective statistics supporting legalization or keeping it a criminal act.

Both sides have their own facts and statistics, and both claim to be right!

So, all we can do is follow the money, and the big money people are spending millions to get drugs legalized under the rubric of “Well, they are gonna do it anyway, legal or not, so we may as well cash in and get the criminal element out of the drug business.”

How has that worked out so far?

And, what does legalization of a substance that is known to cause health and behavior problems say about our society?

We are not strong enough to call out evil? We caution against drinking too much alcohol - how much is too much marijuana?

This experiment will not end well for anybody but government and the big money behind legalization.

The poor suffering honest, non-dope smoking taxpayer is gonna get screwed again!

PS

How much time and effort was spent by how many “do-gooders” to get me and millions of other “recreational tobacco users” to quit for our health and their health and to save money in the health care system?

And these same BOZOS want us to smoke marijuana, containing even MORE harmful chemicals?

GEDOUTTAHERE!

which is one reason perhaps we should just allow people to grow their own for their own use on private property.

Alcohol causes health and behavior problems, and tobacco at least the former - what do their say about our society? Should we make them illegal?

By all means, let's call out any evils in alcohol, tobacco, or pot use, and caution against their use; we don't need to make them illegal to do that.
