Earlier this week, the New York Times published an op-ed declaring 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 marijuana legalization were — especially if such an opinion was being advanced by the New York Times.
