“Old angry white guys like me (that's what the liberals and potheads like to call us when we disagree with this amendment) are the consistent voters and most of
us don’t support medical pot because it’s only one step away from
legalizing pot. The real question that the proponents haven’t yet answered is, why should it be in the Constitution?"

There aren't enough heroin addicts, these fools want to legalize pot yet. Why not just blow your brains out. Then you won't have to deal with reality permanently.
ReplyDeleteLynn, I hope you will also advise folks to vote no on Amendment 1. I felt I needed help understanding it, so I Emailed Drew Martin, and he explained it. He said to vote for it was basically a vote against solar. The ads make it seem like a good thing, but it is really a self-serving ploy on the part of the big Energy Producers.
ReplyDelete@12:19--you are right. When I see the ads FOR amendment 1, I start to question myself. Their argument is logical.
ReplyDeleteI have confidence in Drew. I think he studies these issues, and his background is in this area. I'm glad he's available to answer difficult technical questions.
ReplyDeleteDrew was talking about Amendment 1. This blog is on Amendment 2...medical marijuana.
ReplyDeleteI wish they would just come out and say what they mean. They want to legalize it. It will most likely pass either way. If you add the taxes we would take in, (much like the taxes on alchohol) to the savings of tax payer money from the legal end of arresting, trying and incarcerating, and the seedy lifestyle the black market promotes, it may be a real win for us.
ReplyDeleteThe problem is how to handle what is now a drug free workplace. If teachers have a prescription for weed, will they enter the class of Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)? And be required to be allowed to teach our kids while stoned? What about kids with a script?
There is no present dosage standard or way to judge strength. There are however beneficial components extracted from marijuana that help kids with epilepsy and don't give the drug affect of being high. If it could be limited to that, would you favor it?
Why would they have to legalize it for it to be available medically? Codeine, and various other derivatives of opium are not legal, but are available for physicians to prescribe in all of their countless medicinal forms. The issue on the ballot is a Red Herring. It is worded to obfuscate and confuse the ignorant, and not so ignorant.
ReplyDeleteIt's the camels nose under the tent!
