THINK OF MOTIVES
I personally do not smoke marijuana, but the actions that the current
administration have been taking is almost laughable. No one disputes
that marijuana is harmful to the human body; this is a fact. But how
can they spend our dollars trying to convince us that a substance is
harmful when it is legal to consume alcohol? How many deaths a year
are directly related to alcohol consumption, due to crimes, overdoses
and driver related incidents? How many deaths are related to a diet of
McDonald's? Maybe we should criminalize hamburgers and fries? I am not
supporting marijuana; all I ask is for you to consider the motives
(federal funding?) and reasoning.
