When it comes to marijuana, I always go back to the question: Has the legalization of weed in any city made that city better?
You might ask: What do you mean by better?
Well, is that city now a better place to live — for anybody? Has it solved any problem? Has it helped anything? Give me something that has been helped. Show me a city where they’ve legalized weed and something about that city, something tangible, has improved. Show me. You can’t, because it hasn’t. It has not made anywhere a better place to live. There is no example, because it always works the opposite way and we all know it.
Having people walk around stoned all the time has made everything worse. It has improved nothing, absolutely nothing. It has created problems and solved none. So it’s a bad idea. If you’re going to do something that is guaranteed to make nothing better, while making a lot of things…
