Tobacco and alcohol cause far more harm to society than marijuana. No one has ever died of a marijuana overdose. I don't use it but I know veterans that get relief from PTSD from cannabis, and if they can buy alcohol (which kills thousands each year and destroys families) then why not something that actually makes them more peaceful? This is a grandstanding witchhunt so politicians can say they "defended our community." Why are they not out protesting the sale of these far more dangerous drugs? Hypocrisy and game-playing at the expense of veterans and cancer sufferers, many of whom must ride the bus 20 miles or more one-way to get their medicine. Shame on you all!
