LEGALIZING WON'T INCREASE POT USE
I recently watched on television a so-called police expert on
marijuana. He made a statement that by legalizing pot, more people
will use it.
But in this state gambling is legal. Sky diving is legal, too. What
keeps all of Nevada citizens from gambling or sky diving?
Could it be that just because something is legal doesn't necessarily
mean we all have to participate in it?
