IS THIS WHAT WE WANT FOR OUR KIDS?

I find it very hard to understand why altering your moods and way of
thinking by smoking marijuana is a good thing. Some are trying to get
it legalized to gain revenue. Others are fighting for it for pain
control. If it's such a good harmless substance for pain control, why
aren't the drug companies latching on to this? Most original pain
medications are made from plants.

Cigarettes are almost banned, because it's supposed to harm our
health. So in its place will be packs of marijuana. Will that be
better for us? What about the smokers and their children?

I haven't seen any sound research done to tell us what marijuana does
to your brain, lungs and other organs. It's supposed to stay in your
system for weeks after you smoke it. Is that a good thing?

Any time I've observed a person who smokes this stuff, their eyes are
bloodshot. Why? They are numbed to their surroundings. Why? Some
become paranoid. Why? They don't seem very productive in life. Being
responsible comes in spurts. Their memory is sparse.

Is this what we want for our future generations, the next generation
that will be running our country someday?
