ANOTHER SOCCER MOM'S TAKE ON THE DRUG WAR

When I finished reading Jessica Peck Corry's column, I was totally
astonished that any mother would come up with a reason to legalize
marijuana. Her idea is to legalize it, tax it and fund college
scholarships, and said some of the money could be used for treatment
programs. This is asinine reasoning. Legalize a drug and then we can
pay for treatment programs for the drug we legalized?

She complains about the government spending billions on anti-marijuana
ads. So, to save that money we should stop trying to get kids to
realize drugs of any kind harm your future, we should stop the ads and
use that money for college.

We don't need another drug legalized. We have enough problems with
alcohol and tobacco. I've been around people who smoke marijuana, and
they are kind, mellow, laid-back and non-violent. They are also
nowhere in life after smoking for many years. They hold down
meaningless jobs and spend the rest of their time high.

We don't need to tell people it's OK to get high on
marijuana.
