OWEN SMOKING?

Based on some of the decisions Mayor Philip Owen has made over the past few
years, no doubt he would want to decriminalize pot, because it seems like
he's been smoking a lot of it.

He should take a long hard look at this and reconsider.

KIDS WILL KEEP USING

Marijuana should not be legalized. It's going to make it really difficult
for parents to stop their kids from using drugs if they're legal.

The whole idea of decriminalizing any drug, including marijuana, is just
another attack on the family.

IT'S STINKY

The person on the main floor of our apartment building smokes marijuana all
hours of the night. The smell filters all through the building. Second-hand
marijuana smoke is gross for someone like myself who has asthma, especially
when they smoke the product called skunk.

Health wise, we're definitely taking a step backwards if they legalize this.

FIRST GHOSTS, NOW POT?

What on Earth is wrong with Mayor Owen? First he sees ghosts, now he wants
to decriminalize pot? He should be replaced.
