To: a fool in paradise

I never thought I’d see the day...when I experimented with drugs as a teen I realized why it was illegal, because of how out of it they made me feel. Now, I think there are worse things one can do of course. And I don’t judge somebody as being a “bad person” for smoking an occasionl joint in their own abode. However when a nation legalizes it I see said nation going down the tubes. My opinion is that drugs should remain illegal, for the good of the society, and to send current and future children the right message...which is that it’s better to be of sound mind and not go down the road of becoming a (80’s word lol) druggie.

Robert Downey, Jr. started marijuana at age 6. Look how it worked for him. (Arming himself with a 357 revolver, institutionalized, going to heroin and cocaine, jail time, violation of probation(s)

People who are under the influence will push marijuana on others, so it's no wonder we have to go overseas to find engineers under H1B.

Understandable but then what about alcohol, as a person who worked security at a college campus that can be worse than smoking a joint in my opinion, and about you saying “for the good of the society, and to send current and future children the right message”, I would be careful of that, many stupid people in D.C. passed and are trying to pass stupid laws saying that exact thing that are bad for this nation, and my kids if I were to have any are my problem, not society.

Does that include the addictive mind-altering drug alcohol?
