[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is why I am not voting for him. Yes alcohol is bad, but marijuana turns kids into stoners and potentially worse. The kid at the end of my street died from a drug overdose, and I remember a few years back before he started having drug problems his mom continuously caught him with marijuana. That stuff is scary and seems to make kids lazy and not focused. [/quote]

I ahree eith you PP. Look at DC struggling with the synthetic K2 overdoses, not to mention the rest of the country is struggling with heroin & opioid  addiction. I support marijuana for medicinal purposes only. Marijuana for recreational use is a gateway drug for stronger drugs later down the line. Hogan just clinched my vote against Jealous. [/quote]

It’s a “gateway drug” because right now it’s an illegal drug and getting it involves dealers who also sell other illegal drugs wanting to upsell their customers.[/quote]

If marijuana is legal, that means legal dispensaries that have to pass inspections, pay taxes, guarantee quality control of their products, etc. The K2 overdoses wouldn’t have happened with product from a legal dispensary. [/quote]
