With a woman to look at culture from a Christian worldview, I'm John Stone Street with the point.

In 2016, Massachusetts voters legalized recreational marijuana.

Now, seven years later, doctors at Boston Children's Hospital say that a full third of adolescents who come in for routine

checkups report using marijuana, and a third of those kids are likely to develop hallucinations

or paranoia according to new research.

Nationwide, since 2019, the number of kids diagnosed

with cannabis-induced mental disorders including schizophrenia and psychotic

episodes has increased by 50 percent. Research continues to in fact, that the marijuana on the market today,

including the stuff that so-called government regulated, is more potent and dangerous than

the wheat of decades past. There's just too much data now to ignore the correlations

between marijuana use and mental health disorders. Also obvious is that the

arguments used for the legalization of marijuana were bogus in the first place.

The freedom to choose self-harm and addiction legalization of marijuana were bogus in the first place.

The freedom to choose self-harm and addiction is not freedom at all.

And the kids now suffering from schizophrenia, depression, paranoia,

these are reasons enough to turn this train around.
