WE'RE BECOMING A 'POT STATE'

People who want to legalize marijuana, a mind-altering, intoxicating
addictive drug, to pay in part for drug rehabilitation, have to be on
it. Otherwise their view does not make sense.

Marijuana can cause impaired driving, thus causing more accidents and
deaths and make it more difficult for our great police force. Adults
will give it to teens and even children, which could lead to more
physical and sexual abuse. It can lead to harder drugs. Are we going
to legalize them also in the name of tax revenue on drug sales?

Let the state cut back on unnecessary spending. Don't put our young
people and families at risk for more money. The beautiful state of
Washington has too much integrity to put lives in jeopardy and to be
known as the "pot state."
