One news report says that only 8% of our population uses Marijuana, or approximately 2,600,000 users in 50 states. That means Illinois has approximately 51,000 users. I estimate that Chicago and suburbs have twice that number alone.
Where do they get this illegal drug? Please, let's not be stupid. Anybody reading the JS, reads that there are shootings every day in Peoria. Fortunately most of those shooting, are not skilled in the use of firearms. The major reason for these shooting involve gangs fighting over territories..
Of course, everyone, including the users, know that the use of most any type of drug is harmful to ones health.
But so is alcohol which is legal and sold to more that half the adult population. 15,000 deaths on the highways every year alone involve the overuse of alcohol. So are deadly legal tobaccos.
Trump and Sessions are heading for an early exit from their positions despite all that they have accomplished in 2017 if they OVER enforce some things that people do, illegal or not.
How many highway deaths are caused by the use of Marijuana? Maybe 20 a year.
Trump and Sessions say enforce the law. I say, CHANGE THE LAW.
And, no, I am not a user. Period..I just a modicum of common sense. As for the big news about an occasional bust or arrests on the highway. Figure one out of a thousands. Illegal drugs are BIG money and and all involved are willing to take the risk.
