32. And I say caution, but a different kind of caution

Thu Nov 12, 2015, 11:04 PM

Nov 2015

the caution to get rid of laws that should not have been put on the books in the first place.
the caution to get more people better without the use of expensive pharmaceuticals.
the caution to let adults use this in a recreational way, because they already are, and shall continue to do so.
the caution that there have been ZERO overdoses on marijuana, as opposed to deaths because of alcohol, and/or tobacco.
the caution to grow a crop with so many uses, from textiles, to paper, to fuel, to many other things.

That is the kind of caution I want.
Legalize marijuana NOW, it's long overdue!
