The Herald, 31 Jan 2013 – I am concerned about the legalization of marijuana in our state for several reasons. First, marijuana is a drug. It impacts the user’s ability to make decisions and impairs their judgment. This could put the users and the people around them in danger. For example, a driver who has been using marijuana will be impaired with slower reactions behind the wheel and since there is no test for the use of marijuana, the police cannot detect if they have been using it. Making marijuana legal for use by adults 21 and over will expose teenagers and children to the drug and make it more accessible to them. This will definitely result in increased use of marijuana by the children and teenagers of our state and will affect their ability to focus and learn in school and at home and could place them in danger.
