Saying no to recreational Marijuana

Michigan has a recreational Marijuana law up for vote this November. I will be voting NO.

My reasons are plenty. We already have too many people who misuse the stuff. The smell of it is like a skunk smell, and I do not want to be around it.

I have friends who smoke it - they have become dumber the longer they use it. One got hurt on the job and refused to go to the med center, saying if he did, they would find it in him and he would lose his job. But the stupid idiot won't stop using it.   This is the same dumbass who lost a job, due to not being able to pass the Recall physical, when he got laid off then recalled back to work 8 months later, during the 2008 Depression.

Employers can still fire you for having it in your system. Nothing will change with the new law.

The apartment complex where several veteran friends live over by East Brook mall, have a no MJ usage policy as part of their lease. Yet the buildings reek of MJ smell. The apartment complex is doing nothing to enforce its own rules.

Another fried is allergic to it. She had to move out of her apartment because the previous tenant smoked MJ heavily and the complex did nothing to clean up the smell in the apartment after the previous tenant moved out. All they did was replace the carpets, and put a layer of paint on the walls.

I know of 5 people that regularly drive while high.

I don't care how much money the state will get if it taxes the hell out of it, its not worth it.

Some cities are already passing laws that forbid its use within the city limits, making smoking it in public a crime, even if the recreational law gets approved. 

The movement to decriminalize MJ is just a generation that wants to live its life under the influence of mind altering drugs, without have to face the penalties for doing so.  And that is just not right.
