Elton John Comes Out Against Legalizing Pot

Elton John is coming out publicly against the legalization of pot. As he experienced, it was a gateway drug that led him to dark places. It's almost silly to argue anything different. As the rock star says, "I've been stoned - you don't think normally."

And yet, 38 states have legalized cannabis for medical use, and 24 states have legalized it for recreational use. Vice President Kamala Harris campaigned on decriminalizing pot in a desperate bid to win the Presidency.

What is happening in our society that elected officials are advocating the legalization of mind-altering drugs?

Alex Berenson had an excellent book explaining the link between teenage marijuana use and mental illness.

(One America News) During an interview with Time Magazine, Elton John touched on his destructive drug habits of the past. He went on to slam marijuana legalization in America and Canada, calling it one of the the “greatest mistakes of all time.”

“I maintain that it’s addictive. It leads to other drugs,” John stated. “And when you’re stoned – and I’ve been stoned – you don’t think normally. Legalizing marijuana in America and Canada is one the greatest mistakes of all time.”

The British musician has previously opened up about his past struggles with drug addiction and alcoholism, influencing his stance on marijuana as a gateway drug.

John initially utilized cocaine to assist with his shyness, which eventually got out of hand turning the recreational usage into an active addiction.

“You make terrible decisions on drugs,” John continued. “I wanted love so badly, I’d just take hostages. I’d see someone I liked and spend three or four months together, and then they would resent me because they had nothing in their life apart from me. It really upsets me, thinking back on how many people I probably hurt.”
