CHILDREN ALREADY UNDER ENOUGH PEER PRESSURE
Your paper left out anything about organized opposition to making pot
legal. Making it legal sends a message that it is OK to use, maybe
even socially necessary.
Our kids are under enough pressure from the drug culture as it is. We
should be supporting people who want to stay clean and sober,
cherishing healthy brains and lungs -- not undermining them.
You can see the twisted thinking addiction causes when legalizing
drugs is offered as a solution to drug-cartel violence.
If people are really concerned about murderous drug cartels, then
don't buy drugs. Society doesn't need to enable any more addicts.
