Go slow on legal pot

Kudos to Dr. Aaron Weiner on his recent article regarding the legalization of marijuana. We should listen to the professionals versus the politicians who only see it as a cash cow for their tax coffers. Let's give it time and see what happens in the states that now allow legal use of marijuana as to crime, auto accidents and the need for addiction treatment. Let's not add to the already problematic addictions we are battling with opioids and alcohol and the increase in gun violence that we are dealing with as a nation.
