A young lady was walking around asking if customers supported legalization of marijuana...I saw people filling out the form which asked for their name, address, phone number and date of birth.

I reported it to customer service and they called someone to investigate; not sure if they found her.

They have been at the town squares.

Going to happen more and more until it passes.

So maybe not a scam operation?

Don't let the dopers get a foothold, as then you'll have to send for Cartman to disperse the burned-out hippies.

Too much info to give to a stranger.

Unless this young lady had the permission of Wal-Mart management--then no. She shouldn't be there. Public space is one thing. Wal-Mart (or any store w/o permission) is quite another.

But all that aside--more than about time! We're in the second half-century of this ridiculous "war on drugs" and we've been losing it since it was declared by Richard Nixon.

We seem to use WORDS to excess. Terms like awesome, have been so overused that they loose all real meaning. A 'war" on drugs if we are fighting a war we are fighting to loose. We could put drugs on the street that would turn people say green and simply pick em up.

As far as giving people information we do it far to frequently. ID theft. We do not even know how many places have your date of birth, address etc and have very questionable ability to protect this information. Your doctor, your bank, Medicare all come to mind. Heck in college your student ID was your social security number. We went to one of those investment seminars. Free lunch kind of stuff regularly offered. They of course are fishing for customers. People feel obligated due to free lunch. They had out forms and people were giving them name address phone, net worth where their money is. I left mine blank

I went to a seminar the other day hosted by UFH, about brain tumor treatment and patient support. It was at the Brownwood Hotel. We had a continental breakfast, then a couple hours of the seminar, then a full buffet lunch, which was truly delicious. We weren't asked to fill out a single form, or sign an attendance sheet, or show any ID at all.

It was informative and appreciated.

I have a friend who said she signed that petition at Walmart , she also said the woman who asked her was outside Walmart . I haven’t seen them at the squares but I’ll sign if I do see them .The laws on marijuana are so archaic and ruining peoples lives , some places in fl the cops will arrest you ,other places they’ll tell you to put it out and still others will ignore you completely , There are many states now including my home state of Massachusetts it’s legal and the sky hasn’t fallen . Marijuana is is a wonderful way to relax , have a little wine ,listen to some music , just feel better in a very pleasant way . It should be used in moderation just like alcohol, I started at 14 and still using at 84 ,I never smoked cigarettes , I had a very, stressful , dangerous life around the world and very successful at it so much so that I have a 6 figure pension ,I’m still an athlete at the gym and then biking ,walking and some running in the heat of the afternoon , I’m not saying this to brag but only to show that marijuana shouldn’t be demonized, it can be helpful not just to get high but especially for older people a better you and Miles and Coltrane always sound better with weed lol

In 1969 I was a grad student at Univ. of Florida and I hung out with some people who often smoked marijuana. They were very nice low-key people and didn't seem to mind that I just passed the 'joint' from one person to another without taking a puff myself. One night I left our apartment to go for a dip in the pool, and when I came back, they were all sound asleep.

Over time, I definitely noticed a change in their behavior. They didn't seem as sharp mentally as they were before, and I suspect it was due to the long-term effects of marijuana. Based on what I observed, I think marijuana use should be illegal.
