Many, many people have been hurt by it. If you add alcohol to the mix the danger only increases. From what I have seen, marijuana seems addictive and hard to let go of. How greedy can our governments get to allow this drug to be legalized without sufficient testing? Saying the industry will create jobs does not justify the harm it will cause. The police must have some statistics relating to accidents and death where marijuana is a factor. Seriously, it messes people up and gives them a false sense of reality. Government is supposed to be "of the people" and "for the people." Guess what, sometimes they make mistakes. Let's try to fix this mistake before another generation pays the price.
