Since moving to Alaska I have met some very honest, hardworking people who would never touch another drug. Business owners and professionals, these people use the drug responsibly and do not spend all of their day stoned.
Working in the health care field, I have never heard of a person dying of lung cancer or liver failure because of marijuana. Tobacco and alcohol have very harmful effects on the body. So do soda, candy, sweets, driving too fast and bungee jumping. Are we going to make all of these things illegal? I say legalize and tax it, just like tobacco.
