LEGALIZING DRUG WOULD CAUSE MORE PROBLEMS
The first problem with legalizing marijuana is the impairment of
persons with responsibilities for public safety.
Commercial pilots have been caught drinking prior to flights, with
methods of detection. How many have not been found out? Would anyone
really want pilots or anyone with a public safety job being allowed
to use marijuana?
Is it smart to get the governments involved in another area of taxing
people. The use of gas, alcohol and tobacco sales taxes are abused at
all levels of government to raise revenues.
Juvenile's certainly will have sources to another legal substance. So
much for deterrence, under threats of criminal punishment.
It seems the only call for legal marijuana are current users.
