Although the process has been slow, the system of representative democracy has been breaking down in the U.S. A prime example is the enactment -- by referendum -- of new marijuana laws. In spite of federal bans on marijuana growing and use, voters in various jurisdictions have been passing new laws relaxing and even eliminating prohibitions of marijuana, otherwise knows as Mary Jane, reefer, pot.
Having researched marijuana in the past I know it is by no means a safe drug. In addition to deterioration in mental function, smoking pot has the following attributes; It: 1) is carcinogenic; 2) is a lung irritant; 3) tends to reduce drive including sexual drive; 4) can be addictive; among other things.
In addition, there are the beginnings of a big-business model developing.
Beyond this, just how is this substance being transported? Is it being transported against state lines?
Further, what effect does the legalization of marijuana have on children and young people? Alcohol abused in the human can have a terrible effect on children. What is the effect of marijuana on children? These are questions which urgently need to be addressed.
The change in political climate from the Nancy Reagan "just say 'no'" campaign to today is startling, even shocking.
There are some things worth prohibiting. Marijuana should be one of these.
