DON'T WE HAVE ENOUGH TROUBLE WITH DRUGS?

In November, Colorado voters approved an amendment authorizing the use of
all illegal narcotic. Now I know that people feel deeply for those who will
supposedly benefit from this narcotic (not approved by any medical
research), but I have to say that they were blinded by the rhetoric. Now
they have dug a deep hole that may be difficult to get out of.

First, it's a federal offense to grow the stuff. Second, it's against the
law to have it in your possession. Third, it's against the law for doctors
to prescribe an illegal drug for use, and no amount of talk can change
that. Fourth, who will administer its use? Fifth, who will grow the drug
and how will the growers be monitored? So many questions and so few
answers.

What is wrong with the people of Colorado? Isn't there enough trouble with
drugs in our country; did we have to go out and ask for more?

Do people honestly believe that only those people who obtain prescriptions
for medical marijuana will be the ones using it? Don't kid yourself. Others
will take advantage of this new problem we have just approved. You, your
kids, our grandkids and lots of others will reap this harvest. God help us.
