Had I remembered where I was to vote I would have voted against this legalization of medical marijuana. I do know the difference between the various drugs since I was a high school teacher and we made it our business to know.
I desperately believe it should be available for legitimate medical usuages as I saw the benefits when I treated people for cancer. I was against this particular amemendant because the wording was so nebulous. It was not written to included only the conditions which it would benefit but it was written so most people could get any amount of it anytime. It needs to be tightened up as to dosage, etc.
That being said, when my son was living down here for 8 months, he said that he was offered pot by many Villagers (i.e., OLD PEOPLE) who smoked it. The servers he worked with even told him where they all go to smoke it.
Sometimes we mistake the Bubbleness of TV for a real buble around us. If a person smoked pot or did drugs before they came, they would not likely quit because they came here.
I personally do not believe in using mind altering substances of any kind, but from the proponderance of liquor stores, we can assume Villagers use alcohol which I hate worse than pot use. I was raised by an alcoholic! Very NOT NICE.
