IF YOU LEGALIZE IT, WHAT'S NEXT?

My wife and I both live with chronic pain every day. When needed, we 
take an over-the-counter pain medicine that does not alter our mind 
and allows us to make rational decisions, unlike marijuana, a 
dangerous controlled substance. It merely kills brain cells and makes 
it difficult to function in everyday life, plus it is very addictive 
and dangerous.

If you legalize marijuana, what's next? Take away all speed limits, 
seat belts in all automobiles, allow teachers to carry weapons into 
their classrooms, or allow bus drivers to smoke cigarettes while 
carrying passengers?

Stop the legalization of medical marijuana!
