“Cook County voters say yes to legalizing marijuana for recreational use.”

The vote tally was 63 percent for, 37 against.

In previous posts, I predicted the referendum would pass.

A Chicago Tribune article reported a number of comments made by voters,

Excerpt Comments

“ I am not sure of the wisdom of it, ”

Another about the Northwester research of chronic use on IQ tests.

“People abuse it sometimes. If it’s used only for medical purposes, I don’t have a problem but not for recreation. Not like this,” he said.

King Solomon


If you are wise, your wisdom will reward you; if you are a mocker, you alone will suffer. (Proverb 9:12)

What’s My Point?

There is a difference in wisdom and intelligence. Having a high IQ does not necessarily make a person wise. The above proverb points to one aspect of wisdom being understanding that using drugs harms their bodies, brains, lungs, body, etc.etc.

Drivers high on pot may cause accidental harm to both themselves and innocent victims.
The difference between a wise person and a fool is not about: Position, Talent or :


In My Opinion,

Based on the wisdom being the result of understanding, the referendum voter tally may indicate the percentage of voters who might have made a foolish choice in Cook County.

You Decide

Is my understanding and opinion on this issue wise or foolish?

Do you believe that voters who voted yes but will never use recreational marijuana do not understand the issue of safety on roads, or do not care what fools do to themselves, or their community?
