Clearly people like you and me would send liquor stores broke.
But as a board member I've witnessed the consequences of young people who did drugs, some solely marijuana and it was a heart breaker.
Again my view is not medical marijuana if that were the true nature of the amendment but the door it opens for further abuse .
Organizations , professional politicians, etc have gotten very good at "head fakes". While it may not be true, is it possible Big Pharma claims its against legalization of marijuana but what they really mean is that they need more time to position so that when it becomes national they will be in a position of the most prolific opportunists?
and just in general what social redeeming value to society does recreational marijuana offer vis a vis the damage it creates in people's lives.

...and once again, the ballot question is Medical Marijuana - not recreational marijuana. It is not a doorway to recreational marijuana but ONLY for medically necessary use.
