Marijuana madness

Posted December 15, 2019 12:00 am

Now that the self-righteous Mount Prospect governing body has elected to ban the sales of marijuana in its hallowed boundaries, the village must now continue its crusade against all that is unhealthy to its constituents by immediately banning all sales of liquor and alcohol, all forms of tobacco and all vaping products to truly show its sincere concern for our welfare.

You can't fall back on the tired quote and say that there hasn't been enough time to study the effects of the evil weed - the propaganda movie "Reefer Madness" was in the theaters in 1936, over 83 years ago!

Now, how will the residence of our selectively moralistic village continue to fund past and ongoing underestimated projects and any future follies without the additional revenue of reefer madness?
