Its hard for a leech to create tax money when they are living on SS, getting Medicaid and probably hitting up food banks too.

If you think that everyone getting SS is doing so with merit you are insane.
Also, you said prescriptions lead in recreational drug use, you are crazy if you think that is the case, more people use Marijuana than prescription drugs for recreation, where are you getting your numbers

That whole rant you posted looks like it was written under the influence of marijuana. It makes no sense at all.

No not at all.
What youll realize is that Trump had to say SOME things to placate the voters so that he could get elected.
Politicians cant keep %100 of there promises. Some things they say because they sound good at the time.
That goes for Trump too.
But we need to get behind him and hope he ends the scourge of marijuaana dependancy Asap.

The scourge of marijuana dependency? This, sir, is totally ridiculous. The medicinal benefits have been scientifically proven over and over again. The governments of Israel, The UK, Germany, Italy, Canada, and even to some degree the US have all funded further scientific study of the benefits of cannabis for arthritic pain, cancer, Parkinson's, epilepsy and a whole slew of other ailments where weed has been shown to have positive medical impacts. So your Jeff Session quote is completely false.
Furthermore States with recreational marijuana laws are reaping the benefits in another way: taxable revenue. People love smoking pot, so people spend money on pot. In return states are seeing huge increases in tax revenue that is in turn being put towards spending on things like education, public transportation, and infrastructure.
If every state in the Union legalized pot tomorrow crime would drop, the black market for weed would disappear, tax revenue would increase by billions and the citizens would probably be a lot more happy and comfortable. Stocks in Hostess, Kellogs, Hershey, and Digorno would see a nice increase, too.

It was a typo/autocorrect. It means we need to look at addiction issues as reality not as what subtance people are using. The addiction issues are the problem and where to address. Your not supposed to drive impaired in anyway, whether your exhausted, sick, on pain pills, smoking blunts, or pounding beers. Once you get in trouble the hospitals should do a blood test if there is property damage or bodily harm. Every substance should have a blood tolerance level.
Do you disagree the police should have a way to check opioid levels in blood in the field even though it's a bigger statistical problem than marijuana?

Oh, I thought we were too. I was just comparing it to reality rather then refer madness.
