12 plants not 6.
I don’t see why law enforcement has any say in the matter.
Exactly.
That’s all we need. An increase in automobile accidents and a decrease in worker productivity. We are now the Stoner State instead of the Sooner State.
10 lbs per plant? ummm, no.
LOL!
Hysterical nonsense.
It happened in Colorado. And I do appreciate it when FR druggies identify themselves.
THC is an hallucinatory drug and alcohol is not. Libertarianism is a theoretical construct that can only exist in a perfect world with perfect people. Do you know how to create a libertarian? Just take a conservative and remove all common sense. And remember, never get between a libertarian and his hookers and blow.
“It happened in Colorado.”
LOL!!! Yeah, that’s been debunked many times in many different threads.
“And I do appreciate it when FR druggies identify themselves.”
I appreciate when fallacious assholes identify themselves as you have.
Thanks for that. :)
Excessive alcohol use led to approximately 88,000 deaths and 2.5 million years of potential life lost (YPLL) each year in the United States from 2006 – 2010, shortening the lives of those who died by an average of 30 years. Further, excessive drinking was responsible for 1 in 10 deaths among working-age adults aged 20-64 years. The economic costs of excessive alcohol consumption in 2010 were estimated at $249 billion, or $2.05 a drink.

Do you support alcohol prohibition? If now, why not, given that the damage caused by abuse of it far exceeds that of pot?
Businesses still can decide to hire pot users or not just like the courts have said they can hire or not folks who smoke tobacco. Pot can be made legal but no way are places like hospitals gonna hire folks with pot in their systems...their liability costs will go thru the roof!
Nobody here in Oklahoma was fooled by anyone. I signed the petition and I voted for it because it is not the business of government to tell sick people what they can do to relieve their pain and suffering. I know many policemen who don’t even bother to book people for possession anymore, as long as they are not driving stoned. It is a waste of time and money to enforce laws that are so widely ignored, and unnecessarily punitive. Will I grow it and use it myself? I don’t know, but if my arthritis and dystonia continues to get worse I just might. I would much prefer good whiskey as a remedy, but that spikes my blood sugar, and sends my diabetes out of control.
According to local polling in Oklahoma 49% of Republican voters, 51% of regular church goers, and 54% of evangelicals supported the measure. Also, around 50,000 voters turned out specifically to vote in favor of the medical marijuana issue. The question won by around 120,000 votes.
Unfortunately, a good case could be made that Oklahoma is already one of the fattest, drunkest, least productive states in the Union. Our problems are people problems, not problems of freedom.
Alcohol abuse is part of our cultural tradition ... or something.
Same argument as saying "We have to allow abortion because women get raped."
Overlooks the fact that the vast majority of abortions are going to be elective, and the vast majority of weed consumption is going to be recreational.
Like I said the first time, gullible people fall for the "medical" dodge. That's why they use it.
"Medicinal" is the lie used to sell this scam. The reality is that every Tom, Dick and Harry will get one of these "medical" licenses, and toke their brains out, just exactly the way it happened in California.
That thing should have been put on the general ballot in November. A lot of people sit out primaries. Sure, the people wanting to smoke weed will show up, but the only way to get a real representation of opinion is to go to the general where a lot more voters usually show up.

President Trump has done more to allow marijuana in the states than all of FR collectively. Now you go can snark on President Trump, if you dare.
I live in Southern Oregon where it has been legal for a few years. I don't smoke, but I have seen individual plants 30' tall with 3.5" diameter main stalks. They look like trees.
It is amazing what fertilizer, water and sunlight can accomplish.
So the minority with genuine medical needs should suffer, so that disapproved recreation is marginally more difficult?
I'm unaware of any other "medicine" that you smoke.
