Comments on: Medical Marijuana’s Great (And Odd) Midwest Test: Iowa http://blog.norml.org/2009/09/06/medical-marijuanas-great-and-odd-midwest-test-iowa/ Working to reform marijuana laws Tue, 14 Feb 2012 17:36:03 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3 By: jackal http://blog.norml.org/2009/09/06/medical-marijuanas-great-and-odd-midwest-test-iowa/comment-page-4/#comment-103721 jackal Sat, 02 Apr 2011 13:39:25 +0000 http://blog.norml.org/?p=1563#comment-103721 Maybe it is time to begin ousting members of the politariate who are so blind as not be able to read scientific data in support of medical marijuana use. Just like was done to the Supreme Court justices in Iowa. "We the people"... not... "we the sheeple"... lead by megalmanical power freaks". This "we are too busy" attitude of the state of Iowa is BS!Board of Pharmacy passed the buck off thinking they wouldn't have to respond...BUT then it was determined THEY have the authority, THEY changed their tune again >>> time for them to go!! Sucking off the tax payers and refusing to act in behalf of the majority of Iowans... The state could generate millions in tax revenue and save law enforcement millions in victimless crime enforcement. The prisons could be used to house violent criminals. So good ole boys, what is your justification to NOT backing the majority of Iowa citizens wants?

“We the people”… not… “we the sheeple”… lead by megalmanical power freaks”.

But I feel her religion affiliation may be a motivating factor behind her "opinion" on medical marijuana. She is a christian scientist. Although medical attention is aloud in this religion, prayer and denial of the diseases are often the recommended route in healing. Studies have shown higher mortality rates among Christian Scientists than those using conventional medicine, there are cases of individuals who have died following their choice of Christian Science care over medical treatment (my mother being one of them.) I'm not here to start a debate on whether this religion is right or wrong, but in this particular case I feel 'someones' opinion is highly influenced by it.

Are you a criminal because you smoke pot? ESPECIALLY if it releaves a medical condition! Who, where and why gave the BS authority to make laws to contradict reality? Is this a civilized country of compassion? Sick really sick... Wall Street rip offs artists, big banks, credit card companies...all want your money, >> bail me out BC I have fucked you for years... but only because they have figured out a way to rip you off twice!!...who gave anyone the authority to rip off your right to releave pain and suffering >> or just deal with the fake laws??

Everyone (farmers, business people, sick people, etc.) here smokes pot, they just keep it secret, noone wants their neighbor to know. IMO, alcohol is a far more serious problem here than weed, and it is basically promoted and often cops look the other way when it comes to drunk drivers and public intox, people don't like to ruffle feathers in Iowa, but I truly believe if we were allowed to have a public vote, marijuana would be legalized. Think of the tax revenue, people, think of putting the dangerous people that use dangerous drugs in jail, not the pothead down the street who will never hurt anyone or steal anything. Maybe, drugs like meth would become less of a problem here if everyone was allowed a safer, alternative like pot to get their high. I think if we don't resolve this issue soon, there will be an even worse migration of young people out of this state and into areas of the US that provide the legislation we all want.

The reality is, the "good ole'" boys can't live forever and then it will happen. Which is BS, it should have been 20 yeaqrs ago when it was recommended to Nixon! Everyt state is short on funds, tax medical marijuana instead of making criminals and hatred towards the government as a whole...that would be too easy! Do it just as the 13 legal states do, the special interests can F#$%^& Off. This is America, not some goolag in Bumb Fuck Siberia...although sometimes I wonder? The way the legislators conceive to raise money for this state is raise the fines way out of proportions, (people should start challenging the fines and punishments as excessive under the FEDERAL CONSTITUTION) on everything>>>> Damn and they wonder why all the college grads are leaving the state! Go figure.. The Senate and the House needs an overhaul. TWO term limits, these "lifers" leaches on our system are the problem >>> not the solution. They get free health care and make more then most Americans do a year by triple!!! and a pension for life... like they sacrificed what? and our Vets get shit! It's no wonder this country is broke...

The DuPont family hired a crooked congressman to outlaw it so their nylon interest would have no competition. Americans can buy hemp products from Europe/Canada, but our farmers can't grow it ? Hypocrisy. Fraud. Tobacco doesen't want any competition nor does alcohol. And Big Pharma is amongst the worst of this company. People can function without all the side-effects of the pharmacueticals and yet the policy makers who decide whether or not to get real, get honest are stuck on stupid. These policy makers that continue to deny marijuana/hemp access to the "free market" place are incompetent, dishonest or both. Control freeks.
