In response to efforts to legalize medical cannabis in Nebraska, the state’s Republican Gov. Pete Ricketts trotted out the oldest anti-weed trope in the book: “If you legalize marijuana, you’re gonna kill your kids.”

Because of the huge increases in dead kids in California, Nevada, Michigan, Oregon, Washington, Illinois....


Good one.

It's the one thing we do make in this country!



Has anyone died from a weed overdose? Is there a Weed anonymous? It will kill your kids. WHat horseshit.

Pretty sure weed is not a gateway drug. I smoke weed, but have never escalated to anything else. Pretty sure alcohol is the real gateway drug.

My dad is from Nebraska. When he was a boy, he remembers the government men coming to take care of all that ditch weed that grew wild. He was just glad he didn't have to clear it out.

It's a losing battle, and that line of reasoning shows how how out of touch and stupid the GOP thinks we are.
