Should the USA legalize marijuana? First, some history. Pot is a hemp-based product, and hemp was widely grown and used in the American colonies for products like rope, paper, and cloth. The crop was ultimately replaced with cotton. In the 1900s, Mexican immigrants introduced the mind-altering effects of the drug, which became popular with jazz musicians in the 1920s. Lawmakers moved to ban marijuana

following the repeal of prohibition in the 1930s, painting the drug is far worse than alcohol, and, quote, a growing social menace, unquote. Twenty-nine states initially banned marijuana, which was then outlawed completely in 1937. Fast forward to today. Right now, there are 11 states that permit the consumption of marijuana for recreational use. Alaska, California, Nevada, Oregon, Washington, Colorado, Illinois, Michigan, Vermont, Massachusetts, and Maine. You must be 21 to purchase pot, just like tobacco. An additional 22 states have legalized the use. of marijuana for medical purposes if prescribed by a doctor, which is easy because many pot shops often hire their own doctors who write scripts for anything. One in seven U.S. adults use marijuana

on a semi-regular basis, according to studies. Nine percent of Americans have consumed marijuana in the last 30 days. The National Survey on Drug Use and Health claims 2 percent of U.S. adults now have a marijuana abuse problem. That's approximately 6.6 million people. Marijuana accounts for 67% of new drug treatment admissions for teenagers. Big problem with young people. Major factors in teen abuse are the availability of marijuana and the perceived harmlessness of the drug. Despite legalization, a report from the Department of Public Safety shows felonings. marijuana cases for crimes like conspiracy, distribution, and possession actually increased from 2015 to 2017. That's because pushers can now buy the drug legally in some states and transported

to other states where it's illegal. Also, states that have legalized marijuana have seen big increases in DUI accidents, raising public safety concerns. Colorado is one of the first states in the USA to legalize recreational marijuana back in 2012. Recent data shows pot shops generate more than $110 million a month in the Rocky Mountain State. But the question Americans should address is the worthiness of adding yet another intoxicant to the legal marketplace. It's obvious that you cannot control pot use by policing.

That's impossible. But decriminalizing marijuana might be better than legalizing it outright because of the kids. When something is legal, children deem it acceptable. And once a kid uses pot and gets intoxicated, say goodbye to childhood. Ask any drug counselor. And that's a message. Please check out my latest book, The United States of Trump. It's good.

More than 215 Democratic members of the House apparently support impeachment proceedings against Donald Trump, largely a reaction to President Trump's July phone conversation with the leader of Ukraine. Speaker Nancy Pelosi plans to hold a first formal vote on removing Donald Trump from office this week. Should Democrats move forward with impeachment, Donald Trump will become the third commander in chief to be impeached, the second being Bill Clinton back in 1998. Mr. Clinton was acquitted

in the Senate. But the first effort by legislators to remove a chief executive from the White House was way back in 1868. Andrew Johnson, a hard-drinking tough guy. The 17th president of the United States was born in 1808 in North Carolina. He would later become a congressman, governor of Tennessee, United States Senator, and finally vice president. On April 14th, 1865, Vice President Johnson met President Lincoln for the first time. They didn't know each other at all. Old Abe would be shot dead later that evening. Andrew Johnson was not fit to run the country, and chaos ensued over a reconstruction of the South after the Civil War. His opponents, and there were many, trumped up, pardon the pun, some charges against Johnson. He was ultimately impeached and convicted

by the U.S. Senate, but lawmakers failed to gain two-thirds needed in the Senate to remove him. Andrew Johnson would complete his term, lose his party's nomination, and refused to take part in the inauguration of Ulysses S. Grant, opting to ride his horse from the White House in solitude. But here's something about our 17th president you might not know. Andrew Johnson delivered his keynote speech at Abraham Lincoln's second inauguration, completely drunk. He arrived in Washington suffering from typhoid fever. Doctors recommended vast quantities of whiskey to ease the pain and break his temperature. Johnson willingly agreed.

Things got so bad bystanders had to physically remove Andrew Johnson after he nearly collapsed while swearing in new lawmakers. 151 years later, another impeachment effort is here. So far, no one has turned up intoxicated, although it may seem that way. Back after this. It's an uncertain world out there. disaster can strike at any time.
