    This blows my mind. Do these politicians, who STILL want to throw Marylanders in jail for marijuana, know how much more dangerous alcohol is compared to marijuana? And they’re SO concerned about “the children” when continuing marijuana prohibition in this state. “What message would it send?” And look at them all getting drunk and smiling at the cameras with their wine and other booze.
