LEGALIZED DRUGS WOULD CAUSE WOES

There is a push to legalize marijuana and kids tell that they can 
score alcohol, tobacco and dope whenever they want to.

So, why don't we give each young person who wants to consume alcohol, 
tobacco or dope a personal bar code and levy a 5 percent tax on each sale?

A fund could be established to help them why they have psychosis, job 
loss, conflicts, DTs, night terrors, flashbacks, hallucinations, 
ambulance transports with restraints to the rubber room, DUIs, burial 
expenses for fatal overdoses, liability funds for property damage and 
personal injuries or deaths for those injured or killed while driving DUI.

We could request that our governor designate a body of water to honor 
our daring youth who choose to use alcohol, tobacco or dope. We could 
call it Lake Stupid.
