"Drug abuse threatens everything, everything that is best about our country," he said. "It breaks the bond between parent and child. It turns productive citizens into addicts. It transforms schools into places of violence and chaos. It makes playgrounds into crime scenes. It supports gangs at home."
What a sorry joke, allow me to prove this entire paragraph completely wrong with the logic of an 8 year old. If Marijuana were legalized, this bond between parents would not be broken, people would not need to hide it from their siblings, there would be no violence and chaos because this only exists because of it's illegality, gangs also, and of course gangs would still exist because Marijuana is not the root of fucking gangs people..durrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!, and last but not least, Marijuana is not addictive according to recent studies.

I know plenty of people that sell weed that are normal citizens and not "gang members", I don't even fuckin know anyone in a gang.. In fact I am living with someone that thinks weed is bad so I am forced to hide my smoking and yes my bond with this person is not so good because of this and I admit that, HOWEVER, my bond with my mother was not good either until I told her about my smoking and now she is practically my best friend.
