Fellow Californians…yes, I am from California. I’ve been hearing more and more people talking about the whole “Marijuana will save our economy”, and frankly, I could not DISAGREE MORE! Call it opinion, but I call it fact. Marijuana is not going to save our economy. We are in a recession, face it. It seems like some people out there are trying to use this economy to make something that is outright ridiculous seem reasonable.

If you watch the news, or have any sort of social life, you are aware of all the negatives that are carried along with drugs, especially marijuana. Furthermore, most of the problems are going on in California. Making the drug legal cause all hell to break loose. Recently, I was watching a video of violence at the border of California and Mexico. Would you guess what the violence was over? Marijuana. I do not mean to sound prejudice, but if marijuana is made legal, the level of crime at the border is going to sky rocket. Is it really worth it? Making this drug legal so our economy can improve a bit? Heck, we are not even sure if the plan would work! Our economy is bad enough, and the last thing we need is a drug war going on in our country, or state for that matter. The reason I say country is that if California does it, other states are sure to follow.
Marijuana activists claim that there have been ZERO deaths from marijuana, and they then compare it to the many deaths caused from alcohol. Sure, this may be true. Marijuana has not caused any direct deaths, meaning no one has actually died due to a health problem from marijuana. Nonetheless, marijuana leads people to do things that they would never do when they were in their right state of mind. Marijuana DOES cause deaths.

So for all of you all Californians who think this idea is a great one, please sit down and deeply reconsider what you’re saying. The economy is horrible, and let’s not make it worse. Obama is in now, and we can count on him to fix things. I am sure that he too would think that the marijuana proposal is a horrible one, and will bring nothing but negatives to the state of California. Just my two cents though! Feel free to say what you think, as I’m sure there are many people who are on the opposite side of the spectrum as me.
