I strongly agree with my colleague and his critique to legislator David Simpson in his argument for the
legalization of marijuana. I don’t think a legislator should use his religious
affair to defend a law or his argument for the prohibition of marijuana. His argument
makes him seem bad because does he really think this could make people change
their mind and legalizing marijuana. It concerns me that a legislator is thinking
that way, and it scares me that a bill was passed using that kind of arguments.
It’s like saying since abortion is prohibited by my religion then they should
prohibit it as well, that’s not how it works. I believe there are better arguments like
Adrian said, for example seeking studies that demonstrate the positive outcomes
or benefits that legalizing marijuana can do to our state, not just mentioning
that marijuana comes from God and should not be prohibited.
