A law that must be stopped
President Obama said he would not be after the states that legalized the use of marijuana. He said that prosecution of
recreational marijuana smokers shouldn’t be a priority for law
enforcement, suggesting those who light up in Washington and Colorado
have little to fear if they stay within the bounds of state laws. “We’ve got bigger fish to fry,” Mr. Obama said in an interview with ABC News’ Barbara Walters.
This is just dead wrong.
The two states celebrated their unprecedented use medical marijuana in December. Even with seemingly rules that prevent trades between users such as people can't pass smoking marijuana to others otherwise will be stopped by policemen, use of marijuana was welcome by users that who knows they are for medical use or not. The president's comments basically put a full stop on the Department of Justice's puzzle if they need to go after these two states as use of marijuana is a felony against the federal laws.
If marijuana is simply for medical use, then it is a matter between patients and doctors. Unfortunately, it is not and monetary incentive is involved. In the state of Washington, marijuana is treated as alcohol and taxed heavily. Similarly, a 60 Minutes interview in Denver Colorado revealed that many local marijuana plants lobbied the state congress to pass the law so that they can earn big money. It is evident to say tax income is the main drive.
Marijuana is similar to opium, an addict drug. Hundreds of years ago opium was used by the Chinese in only "Smoking House". People couldn't smoke those at home or public places. Opium brought huge profit for British companies in India, where opium grew. While widely used opium in China sent trade between China and Britain to record level, Chinese health was weakened. Even today, Chinese still blames the drug is the culprit that caused the Opium War and the most evil drug.
So we can see how similar the situation is in the two states now and in China two-hundred years back. If the states can't control the use, how can they have policeman to check if two people passing smoke or not? Just a ridiculous assumption. Widely use of marijuana can only corrupt the society and people and needs to be stopped.
