Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin was wise to veto a bill trying to set up a retail market for marijuana, and he offered lots of solid facts to justify his veto.
. Retail marijuana legalization, he wrote, “endangers Virginians’ health and safety. States following this path have seen adverse effects on children’s and adolescent’s health and safety, increased gang activity and violent crime, significant deterioration in mental health, decreased road safety, and significant costs associated with retail marijuana that far exceed tax revenue. It also does not eliminate the illegal black-market sale of cannabis, nor guarantee product safety.
The governor could also have mentioned many other bad health effects of marijuana, as the Drug Enforcement Administration hasfor “serious health problems such as bronchitis, emphysema, and bronchial asthma suppression of the immune system.”
