Judy Olson: Nothing good will come of legalizing weed

The concern and confusion surrounding the cannabis legalization exists in many counties in the state. Spend the time and money being used to figure out to make an addictive, gateway narcotic legal and use that money to eradicate it from the state. Finance rehab centers so broken young lives can be repaired. Offer education that encourages youth to self-discipline and morals in order to have happy, safe and clean lives. Nothing good will come from legalizing cannabis beyond what voters sadly got in November.
