REGULATE WEED LIKE ALCOHOL
As a conservative, I am against the legalization of any drug. Let's
take a look at marijuana. From the seed to the smoke, it is not
changed, manufactured or even laced with anything. It is not strong
enough naturally to hurt you so how can that be a drug? It is a
natural plant no different than tobacco and that has nicotine in it.
Weed is not addicting, has no long-term effects and only contributes
to crime because of its illegality. If marijuana were legal here,
there wouldn't be drug lords running its supply from Venezuela and
other communist countries. If we can regulate alcohol then we can
regulate marijuana.
