I don't think I ever gave it any thought about politicians in high places who might be taking drugs or drinking alcohol to excess until July 11, 2014 when Bob Beckel of "The Five" of the Fox News network admitted that he was a recovering addict.
During the years he was an addict, of both alcohol and cocaine, he was working in political circles and making important decisions that impacted us as Americans. This got me to wondering about how many politicians in our government today that might be functioning addicts, and how they are making serious decisions on the behalf of the United States.
With the recent push of making marijuana legal, and it is a very common drug-of-choice, I wonder how many of our politicians partake of this drug, or more potent drugs, and engage in drinking excessive amounts of alcohol. If they have a history of this type of behavior in the past, it is highly likely that they may resort to it again when they become politicians.
Marijuana is a very common drug used in America. While this drug affects each individual in a different way, it is well-known to demotivate a person, reduces their ambition to succeed, and can make them appear to be disengaged with their surroundings. In other words, it can make a person seem to "not care" about what is going on around them.
Since teachers, policemen, and just about everyone who works is forced to undergo random drug tests, maybe the politicians should be required to do so, starting with the President and continuing downward even to the local levels of government.
The liberals in America protest to high heaven that Marijuana is a harmless drug. Please click on the following link for more information on this drug. I did not write the following article, but I think it is very informative.
