GREEDY GOVERNMENT

Re: Pot legalization

I feel The Record has given an unfair slant to the issue of marijuana
legalization. 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.
