Twenty million Americans say they're perpetually stoned, and now even the woke editorial board at the New York Times is finally admitting what patriots have been warning about for years: the marijuana madness has spiraled completely out of control.
In a stunning reversal that would be laughable if it weren't so tragic, the same Times editorial board that spent over a decade cheerleading for nationwide pot legalization is now wringing their hands about the "major side effects" of their progressive experiment gone wrong.
This is the same newspaper that dedicated entire series to pushing marijuana normalization, painting anyone who opposed legalization as backwards, anti-science zealots. Now they're suddenly concerned? Where was this wisdom when conservative voices warned that turning America into a nation of potheads might not be the brilliant social policy they claimed?
The Chickens Come Home to Roost
The numbers don't lie, folks. We're talking about 20 million Americans - that's roughly the entire population of Florida - walking around in a permanent haze. These aren't occasional users; these are people who admit they're always under the influence.
Think about that for a moment. Your Uber driver, the person handling your food, the guy operating heavy machinery - statistically speaking, some of them are high right now. This is what the left's "harmless" drug policy has delivered to America.
"The massive marijuana craze in America might have some major side effects - besides drowsiness and the munchies," the Times now admits, as if this revelation just fell from the sky.
Conservative families and faith leaders saw this train wreck coming from miles away. While liberals were busy virtue-signaling about "criminal justice reform" and "personal freedom," they ignored the obvious consequences of normalizing drug use in American society.
Where Do We Go From Here?
The Trump-Vance administration has an opportunity to reverse course on this failed social experiment. While the deep state and liberal activists push their anything-goes agenda, real Americans are dealing with the fallout: decreased productivity, impaired drivers on our roads, and a generation that thinks being perpetually stoned is normal.
It's time to ask ourselves: Is this the America we want to leave our children? When even the New York Times admits they got it wrong, maybe it's time to listen to the conservative voices who had it right all along.
