You are wrong because you look only at marijuana and problems and statistics associated with it.

Everywhere marijuana has been legalized, marijuana has displaced alcohol and proven to be the lesser of two evils. The combined marijuana-alcohol accident and health statistics improve.

And if you say eliminate both evils, the result of that is worse than the problems you claim to want to fix.

Freedom is the right to sin and you can’t get past that.

That is wrong and pure leftist propaganda. It is a lie! Alcohol sales in this state have increased since legalization. Marijuana sales have EXPLODED especially among young people. Marijuana now outsells marijuana and tobacco combined. And it is causing huge problems especially with our vulnerable youth.

The street people that my crews and I used to attend to were mostly alcoholics when I started over 30 years ago. By the time that I retired the substance of choice had changed to marijuana and the numbers of “homeless” had gone through the roof. And the numbers of pot heads suffering from serious mental problems went through the roof as well. These people are far more difficult to deal with than the alcoholics ever were.

You are simply repeating leftist propaganda with no first hand knowledge of what has happened in states that have legalized marijuana.
