CHARLEVOIX COUNTY, MI – If marijuana is legalized in Michigan, Charlevoix County Prosecutor Allen Telgenhof says the availability will certainly lead to more children using the drug, harming development and leading to dependency.

Nowhere has shown increased usage by children because of legalization.  Everything is in the trend lines.

Who could have guessed it?

A Prosecutor coming out Against legalization.

That is about as predictable as a weatherman saying it may rain.

Blah, blah, blah.

Same old regurgitated lies.

How about a little truth?

Using his logic we should also make alcohol illegal again. I'm sure we must have a big problem with eight year old kids buying liquor over the counter.

 

It might not be a bad idea to add tobacco to the list, that's a real dangerous drug.

Protect The Children from the dreaded potato;

 

Potato (Solanum tuberosum). Potatoes contain toxic compounds known as glycoalkaloids, of which the most prevalent are solanine and chaconine. Solanine is also found in other members of the Solanaceae plant family, which includes Atropa belladonna ("deadly nightshade") and Hyoscyamus (I can't convey a point without vulgarities)("henbane") (see entries below). The concentration of glycoalkaloid in wild potatoes is sufficient to produce toxic effects in humans. The toxin affects the nervous system, causing headaches, diarrhea and intense digestive disturbances, cramps, weakness and confusion, and in severe cases coma and death.

We can take consolation in that these people are being more marginalized by the day. The media has done a pretty good job rolling out the arguments in our behalf. There are and will be a number of dumbasses.

The prohibitionist's main problem at this point is that the truth is now inescapably out there.

And everytime they mention the  "children " they lose credibility with their citizens .

For those who think the fknrepublicans politicians and their public safety minions are hypocrites and only interested in their own well-being and have more in common with the Borgias than a political party dedicated to serving the citizens and taxpayers, take a moment and enjoy today's Herald-Palladium story detailing the internecine back-stabbing of the individuals charged with the leadership of Saint Joseph's city hall and the public safety department.

 

What an embarrassment. Or it would be if anyone had any shame.
