Legalize marijuana!
Former Surgeon General, Joycelyn Elders thinks we should.
The state of California will be voting next month on Proposition 19, which if passed will allow the recreational use of marijuana!
However, federal officials have said they would continue to enforce drug laws in California if the initiative is approved…so would it still be illegal? We don’t get it.
Elders states that she doesn’t think it is fair that so many young people get in trouble for this substance that is not physically addicting, and not causing any real problems.
She also states that she thinks we should be using our resources for more important things, rather than marijuana.
Elders explains, “we have the highest number of people in the world being criminalized, many for non-violent crimes related to marijuana. We can use our resources so much better.”
What do U think about California legalizing weed??
