Legalized Marijuana

[Lemur]

Drugs have been shown to be harmful to others. That face-eating guy from Miami was a good example. Thus, public safety is a legitimate concern.

Meh, garden-variety drug panic. Take a dangerous, unstable, paranoid schizophrenic, have him gnaw someone's face off, declare it's all because of a new drug. Completely ignore the fact that Mr. Face-bitey was already a mental case.

We've been here before, with previous drug panics. The very familiarity of the emotions and public gestures should have tipped everyone off.

Public safety concern in Gnawface has to do with mental health, and the very large and real holes in our system for dealing with those who have wandered out of consensual reality.

Did you know that the #1 mental health provider in the USA is the prison system? Now you do. Draw obvious conclusions.
