WHAT WERE HOUSE LAWMAKERS SMOKING?

The New Hampshire House voted last week to decriminalize marijuana
use. One of our respected representatives justified this
decriminalization because teens who are arrested for marijuana use
have a lifetime criminal record, making it difficult for them to
attend college because it makes them ineligible for federal financial aid?

Okay, yeah, so what?! With reasoning such as that, the House better
decriminalize drunk driving while it's on a roll! Otherwise, teens
who drink and drive may have a criminal record! Forget public safety
- - save our teens from the consequences of their poor choices.
