Earlier this week, the New York Times published an op-ed declaring that the legalization of marijuana was a big mistake. The legalization of marijuana was always a bad idea but, it was shocking, to say the least, that the New York Times and its history of advancing politically left-wing opinions and narratives would have such an article. Nevertheless, it s almost evidence of just how wrong proponents of weed legalization were – especially if such an opinion was being advanced by the New York Times.
