POT IS A STEPPING STONE TO MORE DANGEROUS DRUGS; KEEP IT ILLEGAL
Do not vote for the legalization of marijuana. Who will be benefitting
from the legalization, anyway? When seeking employment, people are
often required to take a drug test. To remain employed at that job,
some must pass a subsequent test if one is requested. So how does one
work when he cannot pass a drug test? It sounds as if we would be
supporting the unemployed, more than we already do.
I can pretty much guarantee anyone who has ever had a family member
involved in drugs has watched that person go from smoking marijuana to
using harder drugs. I know I have. I watched it ruin my brother. I
hope all will realize there is no such thing as recreational drug use.
Drug use is drug use!
I believe drug use will be more widespread with the passage of Ballot
Measure 2. Vote no!
