MD legalizes marijuana (MJ) as reports show children dying from overdoses of laced MJ,
BAD LAW! Just because everyone is doing it, it does not make it right or feasible. "For a Few Dollars More!"
As Maryland joins the District of Columbia and other states in their chase for the almighty dollar, do not be surprised when there is an increase in the number of our children who die from overdosing, violent behavior, and other unexpected activity.

Children, by their very nature, are inquisitive and will experiment as well as flirt with danger. I did, and if you are honest, you did too -- drove too fast with your new license, picked up friends for a joy ride, and yes, took a trip out of the City without your parents knowing. Harmless in hindsight NOW, but we did it.

Fast forward to today -- legalized marijuana laced with Fentanyl and driving a car with that learner's permit with friends in the car. Okay, I get it! Marijuana will only be sold to folks twenty-one (21) or older. REALLY! Who purchased your first pack of cigarettes, can or bottle of beer, or bottle of liquor?

I personally believe that Maryland and its legislators have opened the doors to disaster, and in the not-so-distant future, we, the people, will reap the whirlwind -- all for a few dollars more.

I have heard it before and am prepared to hear it again, "I am out of step with the times!" So be it. I'd rather be out of step with the times and fighting the plague of drugs than bury more young children.

No matter how well you think you are raising your children, they are still children and should be able to get guidance from parents, adults, legislators, teachers, educators, and others, and that guidance should come from example, not do as I say do!

Parents, a plague is coming for your children, and it will not be fun to watch.

When common sense has left the building, WHAT IS LEFT BEHIND?

NOTE: Lord, please build a shield around me and mine. Poor your cleansing blood all over each and every one of us and protect us from this plague that is coming upon us. I know you can do it, I expect you to do it, and I claim your protection now and in the future.
