COMPLETE LUNACY TO LEGALIZE DRUG

The legalization of marijuana will probably have its day; corrupt
politicians will see to it.

In the last 50 years marijuana has become the party drug of
middle-class America. Unfortunately, it also became the gateway drug
to LSD, mescaline and cocaine. Science is just beginning to document
information on its powerfully subtle influence on the human mind, and
despite this, we want to legalize it as a recreational drug.
Complete, whack-job lunacy!

Of course, politicians will smile at the potential for increasing
revenue. They will replace the pushers and will line their own
pockets, but they will persuade us to reason, "increased revenue will
fund education." This will define absolute insanity.

Proponents may have some good logic on their side, but they have zero
ethics. I have seen too much drunkenness, devastation and death due
to alcohol and drugs. I have known many who became psychologically
addicted to weed. Getting high became their main objective. Sated on
dope, complacency and apathy gradually began to define their character.

Medical use is fine, but not recreational use. Please, let us
consider future generations in our decision making process.
