Read my issue cover to cover last night.

My postion on this debate has changed over the years.
My beef with legalization is how do keep it out of the hands of kids? Kids are getting most drugs now and they are illegal. Legalizing drugs for adults will still leave a market to sell to kids whether its legal or not.

I feel that we are not a responsible enough society as a whole right now to handle sweeping legalization.

I can hear it now, " I had me a job til they gone and legalized weed, not my fault, sign me up for my check!"

It seems more and more that folks can't handle being in charge of themselves.
