The very fact that George Soros wants marijuana legalized gives me sober pause (pun intended).

I was around in the late 1970s, when marijuana smoking was ubiquitous, but it’s also true that it’s not good for you. I’ve seen lots of years wasted, opportunities lost, and potential squandered from both myself and others around me getting high. It is something that I deeply regret.

Part of me understands that legal weed would be the same as legal beer or legal wine or legal liquor - in other words, most people would probably handle it fine, with a significant minority in the ditch, or worse. Sure, you might argue that marijuana itself won’t kill you directly, like chugging vodka would, but the affects of the drug can certainly impair judgment, reaction time, and inhibitions, just like liquor, which means that smoking dope can kill you. You’ll just die with your liver intact.

On the other hand, I compare those wasted years and see George Soros eager to impose that on an entire society. That, in itself, creeps me out.

And I know of at least two Cancer sufferers who use it because it works better for them than the other anti-nausea drugs.
