I was not a person that voted to legalize recreational marijuana. I thought that it was a really terrible idea to legalize marijuana in addition to I still know that it will lead to higher drug use in the state in addition to the county. Unfortunately for me, marijuana was still legalized but I did not vote affirmatively. 74% of the population in the state voted to legalize in addition to that left me out in the cold. At the start of the year, some of the very first recreational in addition to medical marijuana dispensaries opened up in the city. One of those marijuana shops is right down the street from my office. I have to drive by the dispensary every single afternoon. The parking lot is regularly filled with cars. It’s not unusual to see people kneeling outside in their cars with a joint in their hand, however none of the afternoons ago I was on my way home from work. In addition, there was a lady in a company suit smoking a marijuana pipe in the car next to me. The lady was dressed like a company executive, although she had a bowl hanging out of her mouth while my pal and I were kneeling in traffic. The lady did not care if anyone saw her smoking marijuana. She wasn’t trying to hide it at all. I was kneeling next to her for many minutes at a red light in addition to her talking on the bowl the whole time she was at the red light. It cannot be safe to smoke all of that marijuana in addition to driving around the city in rush hour traffic.
