SENSIBLE OPINION

Nolan Finley has finally opined sensibly concerning marijuana in
Michigan. Like many others, I've been on the side of complete
legalization all along but supported the medical use of this natural
herb because it just makes sense. No doubt, people will abuse our new
law. It's to be expected. Many others will realize the numerous
benefits it can provide. Either way, marijuana is undeserving of the
negativity surrounding its image, as are those adults who choose to
use it for any purpose. To further waste scant state resources
attempting to combat something so insignificant as pot is a tremendous
disservice. The time to legalize and regulate marijuana is now. We
should focus our resources on what truly will turn our cities, our
state, and our country around.
