This story has to first grab your heart and makes me want to hug both grandparent and child. I then repeat to myself "why are you so blessed" How did you swerve your life around this hard bumpy road to not have any of your family affected. I need to quickly add >> not yet !!! Try and wrap your head around how many primarily young adults have killed themselves on purpose or unknowingly on drugs. Sorry but on drugs that we ALLOW to invade and infect our society at all levels. We know about them we know where most of them come from. From within meaning our pharmaceutical companies and outside primarily China and Mexico. Our attempts have failed miserably, thus more die inside our country from this failure than our soldiers have died fighting for us across the seas. So I have a brilliant idea that our governments across many states find attractive. They think their job is to raise money to help their citizens so let make legal another DRUG for our citizens to buy and make it much easier to obtain. Lets make it legal and lets make it seem innocent and "kinda Safe" !! Let us allow a massive black market that will compete with our goal of more tax revenue. Now our children have a choice to smoke THC and eat THC out in the open because slowly this now seems not only Ok but a good business plan for many people to invest in. Surely they will choose this "safe" drug because they are smart and will not consider trying those other bad drugs that can actually kill you. Approximately 71 countries do not allow the legal sale of Cannabis. Where are the adults in the room discussing whether we really need to add another drug to our society and also make it legal. All in the name of raising revenue and because "EVERYBODY thinks its Ok and safe".
