If you have been paying attention lately, there is a strong and well-financed campaign out there to legalize marijuana. This coming November residents of both Colorado and Washington will head to the polls to vote on an initiative seeking to legalize marijuana for recreational use.
Most certainly you have an opinion on this, right? As a counselor for both in-class and online drug classes I can say with certainty that I do not want these initiatives to pass.
In Colorado they have billboards stating “for many reasons, I prefer… marijuana over alcohol. Does that make me a bad person?” One the ad is the photo of a 40-something slim, attractive female. What do you think of this ad sponsored by regulatemarijuana.org?
This is total nonsense. Why not have a photo of some blurry-eyed college student the caption “A marijuana buzz is better than getting drunk?” Really the only segment of the population that wants marijuana legalized are the stoners.
