The prohibitionist are angry that the people are waking up to thier lies about Marijuana. The people are beginning to see how they have been lied too and mislead on the benefits of the Cannabis Sativa plant, the people see how the negative side effects have been over inflated to instill fear; only for the benefit of those in charge, so they can make a fortune locking up our grandparents, parents and children in the name of profit. Ruining peoples lives over a personal choice that harms no one. Our loved ones and friends have had thier lives ruined because someone else wanted to push thier morals onto a person who is supposed to have the same freedoms to make personal choices as do those who wish to have us put in jail for our personal choices that affect no one and if they do they only affect the user. Prohibition solves nothing but creates havoc, just as it did during the Volstead act.

Everyone just needs to vote. vote yes whether you need it or not. It’s more about grownups being allowed to be grownups. Freedom. Liberty. I’m sick of paying CO’s more than teachers. Free up jails and spend money on something productive. Let cops stop crime. It is 2014 everyone. Prohibition created havoc in the 20’s 30’s and ended in failure. Lets get out there and vote

We can’t be having any of that euphoria, now can we? We all know what euphoria leads to, don’t we? That’s right, first you get euphoric, and then you might start having FUN, and that just won’t do. Why, the next thing you know, people would be reading “The Hobbit” and listening to Pink Floyd CD’s. It would be ANARCHY!

If Marijuana is only for terminally ill patients what good is it to legalize it for medical use? You also cannot be addicted to Marijuana LOL. You people have no clue about something so harmless.

It’s all convoluted… Politicians are going to make every attempt so they stay on top of the vote and they can line their pockets with the profits. Also big pharm is shaking over medical marijuana.

Marijuana is listed as a drug that has no medical benefits, still. Yet big pharm takes the active chemical from marijuana, synthesized it, named it Marinol and now it is sold and prescribed for hundreds of dollars per script, way more than buying a bit of weed. If marijuana has no medical use than a synthesized chemical from the plant would do nothing as well. Common sense.

The people who take issue with “legal weed” have been brainwashed by government, churches and schools at an early age (with their war on drugs propaganda). Wait until you need it, or have a loved one suffering who would benefit. Wait until you get arrest for procuring the substance to ease the pain of a loved one. When any of that happens just remember, it is your fault.

Vote Yes on Amendment 2!!!

The art of weavers and schemers.

Pass or fail, does not have much effect on the dynamic of the real world, as the train keeps a rolling. 24/7 .

PS Sheriff John Rutherford, “a joint in every backpack”. We used to just tuck them in our sock. Eh White Eye!

These individuals like Judd who use scare tactics are agents of those companies who stand to loose billions of dollars when medical marijuana is legal. There are several agencies that will be directly affected including law enforcement. They really don’t care about the treatments thats presently killing people they really don’t care about the children either because alcohol is a bigger drug than marijuana because not only is it a gateway drug which marijuana is not it has been responsible for more accident, murders and overall deaths than just about any drug in this country and it has a government stamp and seal. I agree with the statement up above if i had to choose between the corrupt doctor that can prescribe marijuana or oxycontin i choose marijuana because people don’t die especially children.
These different industries are afraid that this plant not drug will upset there order of business. Tobacco company, Alcohol company, Drug manufacturers, law enforcement, crooked politicians who has his hand in the underground illegal marijuana trade like during the days of prohibition. in those days many were killed before it was passed. where not even talking legalize for recreational use we talking about people who are ill who could use a better quality of life. why is it that those who have so much always try to take away from those who have so little. People who are reading this who are ill, keep your head up let them not pass this compassionate act and watch them start to get sick more and more didn’t God say let my people go; remember that not only marijuana is not a drug its a plant that God gave to humanity and they made themselves master over it denying it to all! Their turn is coming!

The only thing disengenuous is Judd commenting about parents discussing their kids being hooked on marijuanna “or any other drug”. This amendment isn’t about “any other drug” and I’ll wager marijuanna isn’t the drug parents want their children locked up for.
