Make that Mary Jane tax 100% so folks who use drugs have to pay a higher price to put the rest of us in danger. We already have folks damaged and dead from DWI driving and interaction, we don’t need more drugs easily available to throw in the mix. Yep, folks have their free agency, but not when it puts my family in even more danger. Using something that physically and mentally degrades people to do things they would normally never do that hurt others is wrong.
Replying to person above. So ur research please. Marijuana is very helpful to many and isn’t abused.
