SAY NO TO POT

          Smoking pot is now legal in New York and many other states. This really angers me! I have never smoked pot in my lifetime but unfortunately I do know the smell of it from walking outside in high school before classes started. There were also kids who lived up the block from me who hung out in the woods and smoked it after we played baseball. They asked me to join them and of course I said "no". I am very grateful that I have never tried it knowing how it affects your brain cells. Many people are happy now that it is legal saying that it relaxes them and it is for medical reasons. They can say that all they want. I say one thing. We need to say no to it. PERIOD!

     Every single day at Chick Fil-A I deal with people who smoke pot. They come through the drive thru and you can smell it. They come thru the mobile line and as soon as they open their window the smoke hits you like a tidal wave. Doordash drivers also come to pick up their deliveries high as a kite. Many of them can't even order their food because they can barely speak. I have seen carloads of young people totally wasted from this garbage. The smell of it smells like a skunk! I worry about the world we live in! We have people young and old operating motor vehicles driving on the Long Island Expressway who are under the influence of marijuana. You can't tell me that their coordination is okay. You can't tell me they are thinking clearly or they have the capability to drive. I worry about my own children who drive. I pray for their safety knowing who are driving around them. I have never met anyone who is high on pot who has it all "together." I realize we have people who drive under the influence of alcohol who do get punished by the law when they violate the law they are punished. I hope and pray that anyone who is under the influence of pot who violates this will also be severely punished. I don't see any good coming from this new law that pot is now legal. I worry about our world knowing our future leaders will have a history of pot addiction. They will not think clearly nor will their decision making be intelligent. I think a lot about the kids I knew in high school who smoked pot. Where are they now? How did it help them? What are they doing with their lives? We can debate this all we want and maybe you disagree with me. That's okay! If people only knew what really makes you happy. Knowing God and living our lives for Him! You can debate with me all you want about what makes you happy. Pot is not the answer but Jesus is!! 

HAVE A BLESSED WEEK!
