you got my vote too! my husband has trouble eating, constant migrains, and marijuana helps with that, it's a natural, herbal medicine and not too many people see that they think it's something like meth or crack, but its not it grew naturally from the ground before we even came to this country

Marjuana slows you down. It doesn't effect your ability to drive. I'd much rather have people smoking marjuana that drinking and driving. Legalize medical marjuana

Got my vote, I actually think it would be OK to allow people to grow their own for personal use, not gonna bother me, at least they are not out robbing businesses or hurting anyone else

Everyone who knows me knows I'd vote for it. It's time people stand up and make these type of decisions and discoveries for themselves. We are talking about your body and know one knows it better than you do. When you consider the damages and deaths that result from alcohol, over the counter medications and prescription drugs even an idiot can tell you these products aren't the right choice for some of the people. If they aren't the right choice for some people ask yourself how can they be the only acceptable and legal choice for all the people? We have a problem with substance abuse and the fact that every one is different as to what substance they will abuse, this is basic facts of medical science.

I was at the meeting and the group has a website: arcompassion.org which lists the many medical organizations that support marijuana for medical use and also lists businesses around the state that have the petitions available for their patrons to sign. You must be a registered voter to sign one of the petitions. So if you want to show your support, check out their website and stop by one of the locations near you to sign up!

This is for Medical Marijuana. It wouldn't be legal to drive while using. In the home, people suffering with cancer. I think it should be legal for use in the home! Along with alcohol. We would need a way to detect if someone was using while driving.
