So far the willingness for politicians to latch onto the conclusions of this article as fact is not only showing an extreme eagerness of Conservatives to feel right about Marijuana for once. But it's dangerous to tout an opinion piece as a source for your policy positions.

Thankfully in situations like TN State Representative Andy Holts attempt to push this propaganda, he was met with "fury and fire" from sensible Facebook users. https://www.facebook.com/AndyHolt76?fref=search

You can't prohibit a substance for 46 years, and then expect 5 years of legalization to show any measure of public acceptance or rejection of a policy. It's best if Republican Conservatives conserve their breath rather than try to make other peoples life decisions for them.
