Well, I'm not going back to read the whole thread. We just finished collecing the signatures necessary to put Medical Marijuana on the 2008 ballot for the State of Michigan. I can give you my perspective from that experince, maybe it will help.
I believe that the War on Drugs is the reason 'The Terrorist' get money. So I obviously believe they should be legalized, and regulated. And I have a plan for Cannibus that I think works. My position has been spelled out in that old thread 'We need to stand up and fight... I think it was African..something started that one if anyone care's to resurrect it.
Medical Marijuana surveys show the majority of voters favor allowing it. 22 States have the Ballot Inintiative available. Of the twelve States that have some form of MMJ(2) Governors have signed legislation. One became law without a Signature, and one by legislative override. The rest have all come by Ballot Initiative. I did not have to sell out my beliefs to collect signatures or I would not have done it. When asked, "Isn't this just a way to try and get it legalized", I would clarify the question, "Your asking me if I think this is a way to get it legalized".
"Yes isn't that what you are trying to do?".
"I believe that there isn't any reason marijuana should not be legalized. Why should folks that are dying have to suffer while we educate folks about MJ? This is the right thing to do. They should not have to fear arrest for using the medicine thier Doctor has recommended."
What we are saying is not the opposite of FDD's moving the patients out. That is exactly what we are saying. Take the patients, and that is anyone that has thier Doctors Recommendation for it, out of the equation. Let people that are in pain and dying have it while we fight the rest of it out.
I think you have to start with the argument being made before you can judge wether its right ....or not. VV
