making marijuana legal in kentucky

[Scotty]

honestly i dont't give a damn if weed becomes legal. since i can get the cronic right now, and if it was legal i'd be able to get it prescribed to me due to the fact that im crazy as hell which thanks to your ignorant government allows me to be retired at 22 haha,but that's beside the point.I do have one question for all you "rational" people who are agianst making weed legal, and that is do you like putting your hard earned in the pockets of weed dealer's that much that you would keep it illegal? Because that's exactly what you idiots want. I just fiqured you'd be satisfied with people on welfare or on disability taking your hard earned money without you having to throw some more the dealer's way. But just has the old saying say's ignorance's is bliss.

P.S. Id like to thank all you tax payer's for paying my bills, and extra thank's from my dealer to all those agianst legal weed in kentucky.
hahahahaha

Kentucky could use a green economy item to bring cash to the state. Through growing marijuana for medical as well as food preparation uses. The state could use the tax revenues, and many regions could use the money from a good cash crop.

Marijuana is not classified as a narcotic, since it does not cause any physical addiction. And the legalization of marijuana will take the profits out of it for the criminal elements trafficing in contraban. Which would be of great benefit to the nation.

Sipport HR 2306

Well lawdy, I can't believe no one hasn't yet convinced "45ACP" that marijuana legalization is the best answer to combat the illegal drug problem. I was completely shocked to check in on this thread and see "45ACP" still fighting like a rabid dog against progress and legalization :)

In America, 38% of adolescents have smoked marijuana. In Holland, where marijuana is legal, only 20% of adolescents have smoked marijuana.

Without even considering all the many other benefits of legalization talked about in the video...isn't the fact that less young people smoke marijuana in Holland, where marijuana is legal, a pretty good reason to seriously consider legalization here in the US? I mean, if that has been the result of legalization in Holland, there is every reason to think that could be the result here.

Isn't keeping young people from trying drugs to begin with one of the main reasons some claim to fight tooth and nail against legalization? If so, then it seems legalization of marijuana might have much better results than prohibition and the failed "war on drugs".

From most of the posts that I read here in Ky, it appears many are already stoned out of their minds. Yeah, not sure I would want a stoned pilot flying my plane. Not crazy about the drunk ones either. "Hi, I'm Andrea and I'm going to be your nurse. Be right back, just going for a quick smoke break. Now does that tube go in the bladder or the anus?"

Debt crisis will be solved with the legalization of weed. Imagine how much money the gov. Spends on stopping pot, now imagine how much money our country could make harvesting and selling it.

And what does it really do thats worse than alcohol, or tobacco? Nothing!

Hungry, happy, sleepy. Thats the side effects.

[Honest Babe]

I wouldn't want the pilot of my plane or my nurse to be stoned either.

However, legalizing marijuana in Kentucky doesn't mean pilots, nurses, or any other employee isn't going to be required to pass random drug testing on the job.

There is no reason to think pilots or nurses would be more likely to be stoned after legalization than they are likely to be stoned now.

THIS GOES OUT TO SCOTTY FIRST OF ALL I'M ON DISABILITY AND IT'S NOT SOMETHING TO JOKE ABOUT. EVEN THOUGH I DON'T SMOKE WEED I DO THINK IT NEEDS TO BE LEGALIZED BECAUSE IF IT WAS THIS COUNTRY WOULD BE OUT OF DEBT REAL QUICK. SO, PRESIDENT OBAMA, CONGRESS AND THE REST NEED TO GET OFF THEY ASSES AND DO WHAT'S RIGHT.

Weed is 1,000,000 x's better than methadone oxycotin and bath salts

Legalizing marijuana would bring this country out of this recession over night

It's a plant first of all, not a man made drug. There have been zero deaths from cannabis. The entire plant can be used from the roots up for medicinal purposes. You don't only have to smoke it in order to receive it's benefits. Search Rick Simpson Oil, or watch the vid/movie Run From the Cure. The Rick Simpson Oil has been used to cure different forms of cancer. The amount taken daily is as small as a few grains of rice. All the medical research out there has shown it's medicinal properties. Hemp/Cannabis crops are recurring and the industrial uses for this plant are over 25,000. Hemp/Cannabis was criminalized in the 1930's by Harry Anslinger who shared timber and petrochemical interests with ,Dupont,and the Rothchilds along with other big money names. When hemp/cannabis was criminalized it was touted as the "billion dollar crop" This country was built on hemp/cannabis and Our Constitution is written on hemp. It has been used industrially and medicinally for over 10,000 years by many cultures. It was used as both by Our Founding Forefathers. The reason it is still illegal is because of medical and industrial corporations which do NOT wish to compete with it on any level. If people would research instead of believing government propaganda they would realize this. The time for archaic and ignorant classifications of hemp/cannabis is now. The States that have decriminalized/leg alized citizens voted for it. The issue is the Federal Government refusing to acknowledge the citizens of those States voices and votes, persecuting the very people who voted it in. Hemp crops alone would create jobs and income for Kentucky and it's residents. When it was criminalized Kentucky and Virginia lost huge revenue that was given to France to grow Our hemp crops.. Not to mention this will clear up law enforcement and prisons/jails leaving them free to deal with the true criminals.. meth cooks and dealers and the "pill sellers" which are killing Kentucky. Look at how many people die from overdoses and how many of those poisons are now getting into Our children's hands. Search Your KSP site and see how many sex offenders/child molesters are on probation in the area around You.. Should those people be allowed free but yet someone simply using or growing cannabis/hemp sits in jails and prisons.. don't just go by what I say.. do the actual research on it.

This is what has been needed to get all of this straight.. http://www.columbian.com/news/2012/sep/12/are...

WASHINGTON -- From his porch overlooking Seattle's Lake Union and Interstate 5, former U.S. attorney John McKay can see tractor trailers speeding down the freeway. McKay has strong suspicions about the cargo some of them are carrying.

"I know that there are trucks going down that freeway filled with marijuana," says McKay, who until 2007 was western Washington's chief federal law enforcement official responsible for prosecuting drug crimes, including marijuana trafficking over the U.S.-British Columbia border.

Now a law professor, McKay is a leading supporter of Washington's Initiative 502, which would decriminalize and regulate recreational marijuana use by adults. "I know the federal government does not have a plan to eliminate this income stream to the drug cartels," he says. "The only thing I think will change (federal marijuana policy) is when states begin to revolt."

In November, that revolt could begin in Washington, Oregon or Colorado, where voters will decide if they want to legalize and regulate recreational marijuana consumption and production. Any of these initiatives would put the states in conflict with federal law, which classifies marijuana as a controlled substance with no acceptable medical use.

All three states already allow medicinal marijuana use, which is also against federal law, but these initiatives would push even harder against federal restrictions by allowing recreational use of marijuana for adults 21 and over, allowing possession of up to an ounce of marijuana, and providing for the creation of a regulatory system which would authorize dealers and heavily tax marijuana sales.

Recent polls suggest that the initiatives have a real chance of becoming law. Forty-nine percent of Colorado voters think marijuana should be legal, according to the newest polling data out last week from Public Policy Polling. The same pollsters found that 50 percent of Washington voters want to legalize and regulate marijuana and 43 percent of Oregon voters support legalization. And in the most recent national Gallup poll, a record 50 percent said they support marijuana legalization.

Keith Stroup, who founded the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws, says that the ballot initiatives are the only way to change federal marijuana policy. "With full legalization," Stroup says, "part of the strategy is to create that conflict (with federal policy). If the federal government is not going to discuss marijuana policy, we will force that discussion."

[Kentuckys_Finest Green]

When a State's voting Citizens vote in a law legalizing cannabis .. the Federal Government should NOT be able to ignore that State's Citizens' Votes.
The support for legalization is at an all time high and many people see that the Federal Government makes too much money with it's failed war on drugs. We have to stop it. Stand up and speak up, it's time for a change.
