n response to Dan Linn, the Executive Director Illinois Chapter National Organization to Reform Marijuana Laws (Illinois NORML) and his small statement why it's time to legalize and tax marijuana, let me just say, maybe you are high. It's always about the money for some of you, but what about those of us who are parents, and the most important "thing" to us is our children?
Legalize marijuana so it can be easier for the adults who are users and or dealers, who are already deciding to break the law, to sell or just pass it on to our kids or in some cases their own? This seems inevitable to me.
Please take a look at the big picture. There will be many more broken laws with legalized marijuana, therefore more arrests, prosecutions and imprisonment at the cost of putting children in the middle. How does that benefit anyone?
Maybe Mr. Linn is not a parent. Maybe he, too, just sees dollar signs.
Then what should be legalized next, cocaine? Maybe you should re-think your ideas of how the state of Illinois could collect more tax money for the budget.

Honestly i can see the children, but #1
it's the parents responsibility (stop using the escape goat).
#2 it always leads to other drugs can you prove that?
It's the persons decision to do the substance and
have nothing to blame but them selves.
#3 How would legalization lead to more arrests?
Sure there will be sum adult that will buy the green
for the kids but nonetheless with all the parents
that complain about marijuana use, kids would have a
harder time obtaining the substance.
#4 All drugs should be legalized!
