When Americans go to War we do not Cut & Run.
That goes for the war against the Imperial Japanese and the Nazis as well as the Cold War against the Soviet Communists.
But, none of those enemies ever invaded America, but we cannot not say that we have not been invaded by the drug lords of Colombia, Mexico, or Afghanistan. In fact, they have be invading our nation for years and they are attacking our children.
One day some of the rougher kids in your neighborhood may try some pot and even offer it to our very own children and before you know it, these kids are slaves to the addiction of marijuana and search for a bigger high and may even try cocaine or heroin.
At that point, the War on Drugs has failed and if we give up on the War on Drugs, we lose.
Our only answer is stricter legal penalties against the drug user and maybe that will prevent your child from experimenting with drugs smuggled in by the Drug Lords.
Addiction, to pot? Surely you jest.
Like making it legal will all of a sudden make everyone smoke it. Give me a break.
Alcohol’s legal, everyone doesn’t drink.
“these kids are slaves to the addiction of marijuana”
No.
“and search for a bigger high and may even try cocaine or heroin.”
Maybe.
