Whenever we make something legal , it sends out the message for all to hear that it's ok for you . It doesn't matter what's in a home--potato chips and cookies--or pot--the more there is , the more kids will get into it. The true costs of pot use is high . We already have many parents in this town who don't feed they're kids before sending them to school -- forcing taxpayers to cover for them . Parents will blow family food money on pot as long as they can get away with it. We can't stop adults from doing what they want.  If your ok with people being allowed to choose pot---what about coke , heroin and other drugs ? Where do we draw the line if it's about choice ?  We know alcohol is the worst . We know pot robs people of incentive to do well in life. We know if pot is used all the time by young people it can lower they're IQ forever  Are we better off with more messed up Alaskan's or less ? People need to look within and ask what's wrong if they can't deal with life without drugs.
