My wife and I were walking down the street last weekend, and we passed by the church.
- I wanted to stop inside the church to speak to the pastor about the weekend events.
The pastor was already gone for the day and the church was locked up tight. I saw a couple of kids in the parking lot, but nobody was allowed on the property after hours. My wife and I walked past the kids to shoo them off the property and they were smoking weed. The kids were teenagers or younger, and they were smoking a huge marijuana joint. There was a stinky cloud of smoke in the parking lot. The kids scattered like ants when they saw us coming near. I didn’t see any of the faces, but I’m sure they are kids from the neighborhood. The next time we have a meeting at the church, I’m going to bring up the security system in the back parking lot. Other people inside of the church should know and understand that the kids are using the parking lot for illegal activities. Even though marijuana is legal for medical and recreational use in the state, I am certain none of the children were old enough to legally purchase or possess the product. I knew this type of problem would occur when they legalized weed. This country is going downhill and I think recreational marijuana is tied to the decline. After we legalize weed, what’s next? Do we legalize heroin and cocaine or other drugs that people like to use for fun? Where does the madness end?
