Medical Marijuana And Other Pipe Dreams
I was just listening to the Roy Green Show. He was interviewing Jodie Emery, the wife of Marc Emery, the "champion" of legalizing weed and making it a controlled substance, just as alcohol is. I am opposed to its legalization and here's why:
1) The legalization of alcohol has not stopped bootlegging. People old enough to buy it still sell it to under-aged people. There is no reason to expect the same will not happen with marijuana.
2) Nor has legalization and control of alcohol stopped alcohol addiction.
3) Marijuana can be, and is, laced with all sorts of other more nasty stuff that can do great harm to users, and lead, ultimately to addictions of one sort or another, not to mention possible lung disease.
In this debate, why is no one talking about that? Well, I know why the Emorys won't talk about it, but why is no one else talking about it?
