Yes, they are. I had the unpleasent experience to learn about two teenagers that died in a car crash several years ago because of an extremely high THC level in their systems. They were Illegally high by federal standards. yet here we are, wanting to remove the federal ban on marijuana. And, if i dare say, the bathroom bills are really a sort of countermeasure the government uses to ignore the big problem. The fact is, some politicians are cowards, in the way that instead of dealling with a major issue like drugs in the community, they would rather take the easy way out, their logic being, “If people can smoke cigarettes with tobacco and 49k other hazardous chemicals in it, why not marijuana? It will bring revenue in.” Again, this is sort of a cowards logic to bend with what is common trends in society, rather than say, No, I will not pass this law because we have bigger issues, like thousands of people homeless, a failing economy, schools that dont challenge students enough. We used to be the greatest country in the world, but now… now we are a husk of what we once were.
