WHY I SUPPORT LEGALIZING MARIJUANA BUT WILL VOTE NO ON PROP. 205

There's a great deal of fear and loathing about the legalization of
marijuana, and I buy just about none of it.

In fact, I would not be alarmed, or even displeased, if Arizonans
approve Proposition 205. Nor do I think the state would plunge into
crime, chaos and hedonism should the measure pass.

That said, I could not bring myself to vote for Prop.
205.

Not out of concern for the state, mind you. Or concern for the users.
Or their family, friends and employers.

If anything, marijuana users are why I almost voted for the "Regulate
Marijuana like Alcohol" initiative.
