I did not and will not sign the petition. I hope the law expires. There is no guarantee that the marijuana you buy will be good quality. Some is actually contaminated with really bad drugs such as LSD. ALL DOPE IS FOR DOPES

Ummm...I seriously doubt that LSD would survive the combustion within smoked cannabis.

And, I feel that anyone who believes that cannabis ISN'T a valuable medicine for certain ailments is simply burying his or her head in the sand.

(It's use as a medicine extends back at least 5,000 years. And it is only a relatively recent belief for some people on this planet to think that it isn't a medicine.)

Medical Marijuana
There has been cases where marijuana has been contaminated with something that caused severe results. There is plenty of pure, tested and effective medication available so that marijuana is UNNECESSARY AND A HUGE RISK TO BOOT.

Oh, I am 100% certain that those "cases" that you speak of are extremely rare.

And, for the vast majority of the population, the supposed "huge risk" that you speak of just doesn't exist.

I suggest that you read up on the medical literature concerning cannabis...as I have.

Politics, NOT medical science, has stood in the way of cannabis' approval as a legal medication.

There can be no denying that marijuana has been a GATEWAY DRUG. After people have decided that marijuana did not make them HIGH enough then they graduated to more serious drugs such as cocaine.

As a marijuana user I am frustrated but as a business owner I am steaming.

Why in the world would a dealer (or anyone) put a MORE EXPENSIVE DRUG in marijuana?

That is the strangest notion I have ever heard of and is completely out of touch with reality.

There is little doubt that the world in general is more liberal than it was 50 years ago and beyond. Conservatives are simply roadblocks on the path to an ever more progressive and liberal world. What a sad existence.

But putting LSD on marijuana wouldn't work because you don't smoke LSD. That too is a no brainer.

You are REALLY misinformed about marijuana.
