As a physician and a father, he should know drugs that become recreational are dangerous. If your children have an addictive personality, their drug use will go far beyond recreational. Nothing I can say will stop legalization. Thirty-one states, including New Jersey, have bills to decriminalize marijuana possession. Citizens of New Jersey, members of Congress and senators, beware what you are releasing on your children. Pot doesn't care what color or ethnicity you are.
