After all our government spent no telling how many millions of dollars of taxpayers money on the what is commonly known as the Schafer Report in the 70’s. It recommended decriminalizing for personal adult use, it basically states that the marijuana laws were passed under false pretenses.
Our elected officials state that the marijuana laws were passed because they have a moral responsibility to protect the people from their selves. Well, in my opinion that moral responsibility also includes having the morals to accept responsibility for the damages and deaths that result from the products they claim to be our only legal options.
Every time a drunk driver is charged and found guilty of negligent homicide our elected officials are just as guilty, every time someone is mentally or physically abused by another who is under the influence of alcohol our government is just as responsible. I may only have a high school diploma, but it doesn’t take a whole lot of common sense or intelligence to see alcohol is not the right choice for a lot of people, yet it’s the only legal choice for all the people.
We may all be created equal but that doesn’t mean we are the same, we each and every one of us are different in our beliefs and opinions, our desires and needs, and how we react to the chemicals and products we absorb or consume. So why is this such a problem for some people to accept and understand.
