In a stunning admission that validates everything conservatives have been saying for years, The New York Times editorial board has acknowledged that America's marijuana legalization experiment has spiraled out of control - with a staggering 20 million Americans now claiming they're perpetually stoned.
The same liberal publication that spent years championing pot legalization is now backpedaling faster than a Democrat caught in a corruption scandal. In a Monday editorial, the Times admitted that the massive marijuana craze they helped create might have "major side effects" beyond just drowsiness and late-night snacking binges.
This is rich, folks. For over a decade, The New York Times dedicated entire article series to pushing marijuana legalization, dismissing conservative warnings as outdated "reefer madness." Now they're suddenly concerned about the consequences? Where was this journalistic responsibility when it mattered?
The Predictable Fallout
Patriots who've been paying attention saw this train wreck coming from miles away. While liberals were busy celebrating their "progressive" victory, conservative voices warned that widespread marijuana use would create a generation of perpetually impaired Americans.
Twenty million people admitting they're always high isn't just a public health crisis - it's a national security issue. How many of these chronically stoned individuals are operating vehicles, working in critical infrastructure, or making decisions that affect other Americans' safety?
"This represents exactly what we predicted would happen when society normalized constant drug use," one policy expert noted. "The left ignored the warnings, and now even their own media allies can't deny the results."
The Trump administration's focus on law and order couldn't come at a better time. While the previous administration turned a blind eye to America's growing substance abuse problems, President Trump understands that a strong nation requires citizens who are alert, productive, and responsible.
It's telling that it took The New York Times over a decade to admit what common sense Americans knew all along. When 20 million people are walking around in a perpetual haze, maybe it's time to question whether the progressive "anything goes" mentality is really serving our nation's best interests.
