They have noted that kids are getting their pot from the loose ways the parents are casually treating it. The kids are smoking it like it is just another candy. They leave school for lunch and go across the street and smoke pot. It has had a significant impact on the schools. They even light up in school.
THERE IS NO ARGUMENT THAT MARIJUNA HAS A PROFOUND NEGATIVE IMPACT ON THE HEALTH OF THE POPULATION UNDER 21. EVERYTHING FROM BRAIN DEVELOPMENT AND BIRTH DEFECTS. PLEASE DON'T CHALLENGE THIS FACT UNLESS YOU DO YOUR HOMEWORK!!
No where in any note have I disagreed with providing marijuna to those that are honestly sick and it would lessen their pain, etc
But, again big but..do some homework to understand the true effect that marijuna has on a society.  |
All your points are well taken. You will now hear how you are talking about recreational use and the ammendment was for medical.
I submit that our younger folks are being desensitized to marijuana use. They have grown up with irresponsible discussions of this drug and see nothing wrong with it.
I am with you....we are doing a great disservice to our younger people.
Next on the agenda.....hey, look what Heroin can do, and trust me there are medical benefits to heroin and that will be next. People making money while crippling (making self absorbed, dependent) an entire generation.
