Pot the latest bad idea of Democratic politicians

I SEE IN THE news that the politicians and governor are going to ram recreational marijuana down our throats without putting it to the voters of New Mexico. They say it is too hard to put on the ballot, but that is a lame excuse. We should all remember that the Democrats have controlled the New Mexico Legislature for (most of) 60-plus years, and they are the sole reason New Mexico is in the sad state it is in. The Democrats have New Mexico with highest poverty rates in the USA, insufficient hospitals and medical professionals to treat New Mexican(s), worst-achieving schools in the USA, soaring crime rates, and are spending millions on the support of (people in the country without legal permission), while legal citizens of New Mexico go without.

If this is the type of help Democratic politicians are giving us, please don’t help us anymore. The Democratic politicians only care about improving things for themselves.

R. Greenleaf and the other marijuana producers have millions to spend to pass recreational marijuana. They do not care about New Mexicans, or they would reduce the price or give it to the medical patients at cost. The producers only care about their profits and will “donate” all they have to get our politicians to do their bidding . ... When are the politicians in New Mexico going to change things in New Mexico? TOM HARALSON
