Legalization of medical marihuana. I am not completely opposed to it.

Maybe my mind will change in the future when it comes to full legalization. I do worry for our country's teens.

The last thing they need is something else to go crazy for. They are already going through a lot- they seem to be lost killing each other and not having any respect for anyone. our society is going insane.

So- my position is more worry than being righteous about it.

I wish I could have the perfect answer. To it. What we can't do is tear each other just because we don't agree in one issue. We can probably find a common ground.

It's difficult to say.
