WILL POT LAW ADDRESS IMPAIRED DRIVING?

I have not in my lifetime seen a more irresponsible political decision
than the legalization of marijuana. More addictions on the way. More
overdoses. More impaired driving. More deaths. More young people who
never get the chance to get their lives on track to success, due to
introduction to drugs before they understand the damage they can do.

Young people need to be encouraged to deal with life with clear heads,
not drink or self-medicate when problems confront them. And any talk
that legalization will lead to more responsible drug use, or that
fewer young people will use drugs, is nonsense.

Sadly, our political leaders are the biggest addicts in our country -
addicted to finding new sources of tax revenue, no matter the cost.
