Why Protect Mom?
After experiencing my extraordinarily bright son turned a dropout with behavior similar like Asperger Syndrome or even Autistic, I'm totally disagree with those people who support pothead mom. I was unaware that my son had been involved in it until last moment. When I finally found it, it was too late. The lawyer said that it was very easy to access pot rather than cigarette or alcohol in high school recently.
While American education is failing behind the global competition, especially in math and science, are those capable students in my math class failing even more because of addiction of pot? I wonder.
Instead of productive human being, my son may become one who lives his life always depending on some kind of social help or more pot.... I cannot express how heartbreaking my family is. Future of America is grim if continue to support drug culture.
There are many other ways to kill pain. People who insist they need it for painkiller are using it as justificaion. I have been on dialysis for 10 years, and know the pain and looked for many alternatives. Pot is not the choice at all. Two wrongs do not make a right.
