This debate is not about the legalization of medical marijuana. If that were the truth of it then there would be no debate. Clearly the intent, the hidden agenda of the Amendment is in question. Big Pharma works on new discoveries 24/7 some of their products are miracles others have caused irreparable damage . Unfortunately even after FDA approval the consequences are often not found until years later on such legally prescribed drugs.
So one wonders if the hype pertaining to medical marijuana is just that and being applied by those eager to cash in on a new crop called legal recreational marijuana?
One wonders if Big Pharma has an equivalent drug equal to the alleged benefits of medical marijuana?
I wonder what is the real difference between an illegal drug dealer and a legal drug dealer?
One wonders exactly who would become the legalized king of recreational marijuana? Perhaps the senator of your state? perhaps Big Pharma? Perhaps Mexican Cartels ?
One wonders how many politicians salivate on the thought of the taxes recreational marijuana will bring?
One wonder if these same politicians give thought or care as to the adverse effects it has on people and their families?
I wonder how many responsible parents tell their kids that its OK to smoke dope?
I wonder about a society that obsesses about the legalization of marijuana but ignores the evidence of what a hedonistic society we are becoming?
I wonder about political/community leaders and/or celebrities who promote such destructive practices?
I wonder how many people complain about tobacco users but believe marijuana is just fine?
Call me a doom and gloom kind of guy but history is replete with examples of the human experience method of rationalization that goes from the sublime to the ridiculous. Socialize it normalize it and soon no one notices...
