We can only hope that our legislators legalize marijuana and stop throwing our tax dollars away on marijuana laws that dont work. The war on marijuana is on its way to being over. They have been lying to us and continue to lye about the harms of marijuana. I have heard many physicians talk about marijuana and most of which feel it should be legalized. Nobody has ever died from taking too much marijuana and we have more problems with sugar use in our society that marijuana. We all need to vote to stop the marijuana war now stop throwing away billions on a lost war. Nixon started the war in 1971 and it hasnt worked.
Oklahomans should ask themselves, why in the world won't our politicians allow Oklahomans to vote on the medical cannabis issue. How are they benefiting by denying Oklahomans the right to vote on it and to make that decision themselves? Are they getting something out of it? Or do they just enjoy telling Oklahomans how things are gonne be? Does it make them feel powerful to deny Oklahomans the right to express and vote on issues?
Eighteen (18) states have legalized medical cannabis, 3 more have legislation pending, and several others in the works, so why would Oklahoma's politicians not let its citizens decide and vote on it rather than sweeping it under the rug and refusing to even discuss it as Senator Crain did last month?. He had indicated that he would set a date to discuss an Interim Study, but then he just let the deadline pass on December 1st. For six straight years Senator Connie Johnson has submitted a Compassionate Care Bill, trying to help patients in Oklahoma that suffer from cancer, multiple sclerosis, and other debilitating diseases with severe pain, and every single year it gets ignored, postponed, or just swept under the rug.
Whether we use the numbers shown in this article, 55% approving medical cannabis and 34% against, or the latest Fox 23 poll in 2012 that reflects 81% approving, it would seem logical either way that Oklahomans want the opportunity to decide for themselves. It would appear that with either poll, we should not just keep kicking the issue around, because the people that are paying the price for these political games are the patients that are suffering. Senator Johnson is NOT asking to have it legalized for recreational purposes! It's all about having a little compassion for the people that suffer with diseases and bad pain. Everyone should focus on the patients that are suffering, and quit trying to come up with excuses or ideas as to why we can't allow doctors to make this decision for their patients. Cannabis has never hurt one single person, so if it can help the lady with cancer to eat, or the guy with multiple sclerosis not hurt so bad, then we should allow our doctors prescribe medical cannabis for them. The good Lord knows they suffer enough, and delaying this issue is not helping them one bit. Let the people vote! Put the issue in the hands of our medical doctors!
The War on Drugs failed $1 Trillion ago! This money could have been used for outreach programs to clean up the bad end of drug abuse by providing free HIV testing, free rehab, and clean needles. Harmless drugs like marijuana could be legalized to help boost our damaged economy. Cannabis can provide hemp for countless natural resources and the tax revenue from sales alone would pull every state in our country out of the red! Vote Teapot, PASS IT, and legalize it. Voice you opinion with the movement and read more on my artist’s blog at http://dregstudiosart.blogspot.com/2011/01/vote-teapot-2011.html
The hemp farming industry is beginning to find footing in Colorado after and as a result of their initiative. Today we have to import all the hemp we use for clothing and other construction and other uses, sending tons of money to other countries. Hemp in an incredible plant with a lot of uses including being one of the best insulating products around for construction and home building.
