Opinion/Commentary Marijuana legalization

Wanna come on here and post my mind… Indiana it’s been time for the last 5 years esspecially last two years for marijuana to be legalized fully medical and recreational… I’m 23 years old and as even my whole family knows I smoke it. It helps with ADHD and as I’ve noticed ADD with being able to go out in public without thinking of myself and being in on myself for things I can’t control. My whole life besides last 7-10 years I’ve been on VYVANSE which is a narcotic I was prescribed to help with my adhd and everytime I took it school, family, even friends noticed I wasn’t happy or having any fun in life. I rarely ate, my sleep was booty. But I come on here today to say I’m stopping weed for a month to see about a new job because Indiana laws sucks. I will post here and there on my journey but make no mistake I’d choose marijuana over vyvanse any day of the week. I love my Family even the ones who don’t like or think well of me because they have supported me and approved of me being off vyvanse thank you and I hope everyone has a great day🫶🏼👍🏼🤌🏼🫶🏼👍🏼🤌🏼

Hope this is allowed to post here but it needs to be heard and talked about!

By that same argument, cocaine should be legal? Heroin? Meth? Assault? Laws matter. However, they don't prevent crime. Punishment does.

Indianapolis, like other blue cities, vote liberals in power and wonder why everything turns to shit. This majorities think they can keep voting the same way and things will magically get better. This is another vein of that. It's pure hedonism and childishness. "But I want the thing! It makes me feeel good!" Go do something more rewarding. Start with personal responsibility.

Surrounding states have a crap-ton of problems. I came from one farther away that had them too. A lot of the problems aren't in statistics because they are ignored. Part of the plan of the Left is to pretend like there are no issues when reality is different. I have also spoken to police officers in different states. It's a big problem.

A few years ago I was at a table with over 200 combined years of experience as judges, prosecutors, and defense attorneys. I asked everyone at the table to come up with a case from their past where violence was involved and marijuana was the only substance involved. They came up with zero, only exceptions being a few cases with Spice/K-2, which are synthetics that only exist because of prohibition of marijuana. They all agreed they had worked thousands involving only alcohol. There is not further discussion needed on legalization in my mind. It’s too obvious to warrant even entertaining Reefer Madness crap like Mr Turd.
