re: Canada announces plans to legalize weed nationwide

Sen. Francis Thompson, D-Delhi, denounced the measure.

“I am going to tell you, I don’t want my children, my grandchildren or my great grandchildren or anyone that comes after me taking marijuana,” said Thompson, a state lawmaker for four decades.

“I just don’t believe we ought to be headed this direction, with all the drug problems we have,” he said. “I have never in my life had someone ask me about legalizing marijuana.”

He's either out of touch with his constituents or just doesn't care to represent them. Despite Thompson spewing this reefer madness nonsense from the Senate floor, the measure passed the Senate today.
