Letter: Legalization of marijuana is all about the money

Published 10:37 pm Monday, November 4, 2019

After reading articles in the Tribune about vaping, a question comes to mind. What good does it do to warn young people about the dangers when at the same time politicians and activists are pushing for the legalization of marijuana? Is inhaling hot smoke from some weed healthy? Of course not. Those pushing for legalization (including our governor) don’t care. It’s all about the money. Growers and sellers will get rich, and various government entities will rake in millions in tax revenue. What a state we live in.
