Legalizing Marijuana

A Blog Post

If smoking marijuana is legalized for recreational purposes, it will go down in history as one of the worst mistakes of the 21st century made by any country with far-reaching consequences for the physical, moral and spiritual wellbeing of the entire nation. Every country has a collective karma and its people have to pay dearly for the mistakes they make collectively. Those who are anxious to legalize the recreational use of Marijuana should read the history of 18th and 19th century China and know how it ruined that country for several generations. Once you legalize it, you cannot discriminate against drug addicts in matters of employment and if you were an employer, you would not be comfortable hiring them. You cannot also stop people and companies making derivative products, including food and drinks, out of it for profit. The only people who will benefit from such perverted decision would be the drug dealers from across the border and all the enemies of the USA. It is important to remember that whether it is sports, recreation or life-style, the USA sets the trends worldwide. If Marijuana is legalized for recreational purposes, it will set bad precedence for other cash strapped countries to follow because it is a potentially good source of revenue.
