Marijuana Legalization Is A Republican Issue
The lady, Jessica Corry, was a press secretary for a Republican Senator. Here is some more information on her. She and her husband have a few words to say on Huffington Post. While leaders from both major political parties whisper privately about the insanity of the drug war, they decline to take a rational public position in support of legalization or decriminalization. Instead, they continue to cater to an ill-conceived misunderstanding of what their respective constituencies believe our marijuana policies should be.In the video she repeats many of the themes I have been hammering for years. What is her game plan for bringing Republicans on board? ...Corry, who does not smoke pot, is trying to organize Republican women around the cause. So far, she has commitments from 20 fellow Coloradoans, most of them lawyers, like Corry. Her husband, also an attorney, represents medical marijuana users.Yep. The Republican Party I know so well. Champions of smaller government. Except when they are not. Way to go my principled friends. Let me just say this. Med pot consistently polls in the 55% to 65% range. In Maine it just garnered 58% in a referendum to make medical marijuana growing and SALES legal. What are you waiting for Republicans? The votes are there for the taking. Want to grow your own where it is legal? This should help: Marijuana Horticulture: The Indoor/Outdoor Medical Grower's Bible Let me add that Jessica talks about the safety of marijuana. Here is a book on the subject: Marijuana is Safer: So Why Are We Driving People to Drink? Here is a video made in Israel that is short and funny. It shows a guy drinking and getting belligerent and who do the police arrest? The pot smoker. Sorry no English subtitles. One thing that is amusing in an ugly sort of way is that the one minute clip represents something that is unfortunately nearly universal.
