The Problem with Marijuana is its multiple consequences


What you claim are merely the potential dangers of marijuana and what I claim are the real consequences of marijuana is precisely what the concern is. There are many conjectures, assertions, and premises which suppose that marijuana is very harmful and dangerous. Your assertion is that they are merely probable or highly unlikely, whereas, my claim is that --- if there is only a slight chance that each concern has a possibility of being accurate, that is enough for me to desire the entire banning and illegality of the substance. I am not willing to play trial and error on the human American population. The fear that I have is that you are willing to legalize and then see what happens. You are willing to see if marijuana will harm either slight or tremendous to the American population. I am not willing to do that. Besides, if you were to legalize the drug, and the American people were devastated by the effects, it seems that you and people like you would deny that marijuana would have been the cause. I am not willing to tamper with the notion that marijuana is highly caustic and highly destructive to its users, yet you invite the concept that we just see if marijuana will contribute to harming the nation. I will not permit even the potential. I feel that is a responsible and humane response on this issue.

The pleasure experienced by the use of the drug is not worth even the supposition of the potential that the American people will be jeopardized by marijuana.
