DO I HAVE A CHOICE?

In America years ago, if you couldn't pass a drug test then you didn't 
work. So you have no money.

Then if you couldn't pass a drug test for welfare then you couldn't get 
food to eat.

Now, it seems, if you or any one you've had contact with don't pass a drug 
test, you can't have a government subsidized home to live in.

If you can't pass a drug test then all your property and money can be taken 
from you, and you don't even have to be guilty for this one.

If your children can't pass a drug test at school then you get to have your 
lawyer costs, potential jail time, and loss of all your property and 
children to worry about.

If you can't pass a drug test or your children can't pass a drug test, then 
yourself or your children cant have government funding for an education for 
a job to have money to buy food to eat, or a home to live in.

If you can't pass a drug test when you're on probation or parole, then you 
get to go to jail or attend a mandatory government sponsored substance 
abuse program.

Why do I still smoke marijuana? Because it's my choice!

By the way, I don't remember voting on these laws.

As a citizen I want to vote on laws that I have to abide with every day of 
my life!

Let the people vote on marijuana!
