We have a much larger national problem with alcohol than we do with marijuana (I'm not talking about the more serious drugs such as meth/cocaine/ecstasy/heroin/etc), so are you advocating that we make alcohol illegal again?
If so, I personally wouldn't have a problem with that...and it looks like we agree on at least one thing.

Too many voters are not doing their due diligence and we should have all learned the consequences when the Speaker stated "we have to pass it to know what's in it." Well I know what's in this ballot and its a path way to legal recreational use.

And so what if recreational use does occur?
I agree that
'true due diligence,' an examination of the facts and not just knee-jerk emotional responses...are what is really needed.
I'm not too confident however, that will ever occur...since all too many have their bias' set in stone.
