		<description>This David is against legalizing marijuana. If you ask many from Colorado about legality, they will tell you they wish it had not been legalized. All the surrounding states now have issues because of Colorado law.</description>

		<description>TG is spot on. I know one of them personally.moved from Orlando to Colorado to be one of the first growers.They need another $ like a-hole-in -the-head, but they sure don&#039;t care about putting one in yours. The dangers in Marijuana are many. Medical marijuana indeed!</description>

		<description>All you advocates of smoking it.  You did not address any of my legitimate points. Yes, I have tremendous chronic pain but, I see what&#039;s really going on here, as I pointed out.  It is not about you and your pain.  It is about the money changers and what they want.  I have no problem with the THC in marijuana being used in pill form.  Would that be ok.  Lot less side effect than the smoking of the leaves. And just because alcohol  is legal doesn&#039;t make it a good thing.  You know why it&#039;s legal.  Yep the money which is why they want to legalize marijuana.  You have got to see that!</description>

		<description>Opoid overdoses are down in states where marijuana is legal. 

Marijuana arrests generate lots of revenue for the state.  That is t one  reason the  pundits want to keep it illegal. They are too stupid to realize the taxes garnered on it  if it were completely legal would   generate revenue far and above what they get now.

Of course big pharma would lose revenue, because most who rely on opoids and other drugs would switch to marijuana because they too want a natural substance over the poisonous man-made substances.   Of course, Rick Scott and his cronies are   the beneficiaries of many a big pharma dollar.

Legalize it,  take advantage of it&#039;s medicinal properties, and  recognize that it is  less dangerous than alcohol and other drugs.

PS it&#039;s not a gateway drug.  Alcohol is.</description>

		<description>Vote no to pot. This is just an excuse for recreational use. I do not want it around me, it stinks. Funny people are against smoking cigarettes,  which is also a natural substance, but they are for smoking pot.</description>

		<description>Please vote Yes it would benefit me. I am on doctor prescribed oxycodone and I would like to get off of it but there&#039;s nothing out there that would replace it currently. Medical marijuana is an option for me to replace be strong medication that I am on. I do believe if people had to live through the pain that I am in they would vote Yes</description>

		<description>PASS THIS BILL...PLEASE.  This is a naturally occurring plant that was put here for a reason. It&#039;s been used for thousands of years for all types of ailments. A person can ABUSE any substance (soda, sweets, salt etc) Proper usage is quite different.</description>
