The Chinese remember what Opium did to their population.
California this is your brain on drugs.
Yeah, seems like there are quite a few where we are now that it’s legal. At least more obvious. Some one posted “I don’t smoke pot all the time. But when I do it’s every day.” Okay loser. And, we know it’s not for medical use. Nice example for the grandkids. Of course they could be drunk. Oh, wait. They drink to excess too sometimes. Sigh!
IMHO it’s not philanthropy if the intent is political manipulation.
Soros is a vile POS!
However, he does not put a gun to the heads of those using whatever drug each day, making them use those drugs.

Like everything else it’s the individual’s ability to function that matters.
There are many play things in the sand box ..... pot, opioids, alcohol, pornography, carbs, sugar, bad politics, fast cars, guns
They are all available for abuse and taking them away from “the people” has proved near impossible.
Education on abuses are only as good as the person who listens and has the ability to connect the dots.
I’ve smoked small portions of weed almost every day for 54 years, raised 4 highly functioning kids, owned and operated several businesses, am very conservative, in excellent health, do math puzzles for fun, have a wonderful marriage.
Saying it’s the weed is like saying it’s the gun that did it.
Recreational Chemistry is for losers - bump for later...
The science is settled. Marijuana is harmful. It’s addictive. Legalization causes all kinds of societal problems.

We got along pretty well till then. NASCAR is the only thing prohibition of ethanol brought us that is a positive.
We now have super potent cannabis thanks to "Just say no", and the Reagan/Rumsfeld prohibition.
We, the individuals, should be the only arbiter of what kinds of medical treatments we want/need, not the state, even if it's something as destructive as meth. If it can be obtained cheap and legal, there is no longer a need for criminal behavior.
Bottom line, prohibition CREATES criminal monopolies.
Satan’s ambassador on earth is way overdue for retirement...from earth.
His money has even delayed the grim reaper’s visit...
Wow way to ignore lots of other facts in paragraph 4. Like the closeted homosexuality, CTE, and crappy childhood with an abusive father. Nope it’s all cause he smoked pot. And that addiction to lying is why the drug warriors are scum.
It’s not often one gets to read a more hyperbolic opinion article.
Thank you. It was a pleasant amusement.
And no, I am not going to attack the article point by point.
But I will say this: Pot damages kids. To what extent is debatable. I do know that everyone I grew up with used it regularly. Some did well, others not well at all. The role pot played in those outcomes is unknown.
But if an adult chooses to use it, it’s nobody’s business but theirs. Just like beer, tobacco, wine and whiskey. And sugar.
SPJNK.
If they have you doped up they control you
The left has ALWAYS been for pot legalization. They know it destroys minds, motivation, families and lives....in other words traditional American values. It is one of the many arrows their quiver to overthrow the United States and institute whatever Godless system they want to impose.
