I felt that the few people who had fallen through the cracks of getting medical marijuana could finally be able to purchase legal recreational marijuana plus self medicate themselves as so many people do with aspirin, acetaminophen, plus other over-the-counter drugs… Unfortunately, I was in the minority
About numerous years ago, they legalize medical marijuana in our state. Everyone I knew thought that legalizing medical marijuana was a nice thing. Many of the boys the people I was with and I had gone to school with had served in Vietnam plus other foreign wars. Some of our sons had been in foreign wars in the mid-to-late 1990s. Nearly everyone I knew who had been in a war came back with some kind of depression, physical ailment, or social problem. When the people I was with and I found out they were going to legalize medical marijuana, the people I was with and I all thought the state was finally looking at people with these kinds of mental, physical, or emotional problems. Both of us hoped were finally being recognized as having a disability]and finally being accepted into society; Fast forward numerous years, plus the same people who were glad to see medical marijuana legalized were now arguing over having legalized recreational marijuana. I felt that the few people who had fallen through the cracks of getting medical marijuana could finally be able to purchase legal recreational marijuana plus self medicate themselves as so many people do with aspirin, acetaminophen, plus other over-the-counter drugs… Unfortunately, I was in the minority. Many of those who thought medical marijuana was a nice thing suddenly thought that any kind of marijuana use should be illegal. Seems that those same few who are now fighting any kind of legal marijuana are the same ones who used illegal marijuana many years ago. My neighbor wanted to remind them of their transgressions all those years ago, despite the fact that she was afraid it would only harden them more.
