"Actually, this would be the perfect time to bring this issue to the forefront. Our government does NOT need to raise taxes on small business owners, (which happens to be those people that make about $250,000/yr). All they need to do is help patients all across America and legalize MEDICAL cannabis.
I'm really not crazy about taxing it, but since they have put America in the spot we are in, doing this would be better than taxing small business owners, because those people are the ones that employ the most Americans and we do not need for them to lay off workers.
Legalizing medical cannabis would also create hundreds of thousands of jobs, perhaps even more than that, and could be what pulls America's fat out of the fire. There would be government jobs created in the setting up and controls for patients, caregivers, dispensaries, and even growers.
Why are our government officials making solutions to our problems so difficult. Cannabis is the answer to SO many of our problems. We will have the benefit of our law enforcement officials having more time for their jobs if they weren't forced into ruining families lives by putting the users in jail or prison. The majority of law enforcement officials will even agree on this issue.
The real answer might be to end prohibition of cannabis altogether, but we don't have to visit that issue right at this moment. What we really need right now is to help patients with debilitating diseases such as cancer, multiple sclerosis, etc., and legalize it as medicine. Put it back in the hands of our physicians!
Nothing is going to happen by itself. Oklahomans need to contact their senator daily, and tell them that it's time for Oklahoma to legalize medical cannabis.
As Mr. Pearcey states in his article, Oklahoma Senator Constance Johnson has been proposing the legalization of medical cannabis and help patients for almost seven years. There is an Interim Study on medical cannabis that Senator Brian Crain is sitting on right now, that will expire December 1st. Surely we can help by just picking up the phone once a day.
Just pick up your phone and call your senator once a day until they do something about it! Tell your friends to do the same, and let's make Oklahoma a better place to live!"
