Please realize that marijuana is recognized by any responsible Addition Theryapist as a "Gateway Drug". Research supports that a high
percentage of other drug users started on this drug. I am always amazed
why anyone (outside of serious medical problems) would ever support making
this drug legal. Excluding significant medical problems why would anyone
want to escape the realities of life. The "Rehabs" are full of these individuals suffering from alcohol or drug additions so I guess this would just make them
more successful in raising revenue. We should not forget that alcohol is just another form of a drug. Maybe a visit to ann AA meeting, or a Narc meeting
would help these people see the harm of this thinking. I have not suffered from these additions but have known many who have and cost to society
is great. It is a pretty dumb excuse to make it legal in order to avoid work for
the police or earn taxes on the sale. I feel confident the saving that may happen from these will be passed on as an additional cost to society and the quality of life for many.
