I grew up in a state (Vermont) where nearly 50% of the population uses marijuana. I simply ask the proponents of legalized drugs to consider the real, hard, disturbing facts behind the great green cloud.
Pot head parents smoke wherever they like, including next to their innocent children. Literally thousands of children are exposed to that drug in Vermont alone, every day. It is permanently brain altering (as many long-term studies have proven) and has a more insidious effect: social de-integration. Many adults tend to become seriously psychologically dependent on pot, and instead of buying food and clothing for themselves or their children, they spend most of their money at the local drug dealer buffet. Inevitably, the family structure falls apart as every resource has to be devoted to attain that elusive, coveted, little baggy of pot.
Please think about the vast, and painful effects of any drug (including alcohol). Think I'm full of crap? Go see for yourself. Visit the numerous child welfare organizations around Vermont, and New Hampshire, to see first hand the great lie behind the great green cloud.
Marijuana sucks.
What sucks is the number of welfare and other children that live in places where filth permeates the 4 walls, and, the automobile 'walls', by way of dirty and nasty rap music, day and night. That's more of a mind-fucker to millions than pot use is.
