It reflects how Oklahomans want to be eligible to vote on med. marijuana in case it makes it to the ballot in Nov. I've been on the front lines of the petition drive and have come to know how positive people feel on this issue.

Yeah yeah. You are just another hopeless liberal in a a sea of red fantasizing about a utopia you can't have. You are too afraid to move to a state like Washington or Colorado and think a petition is major progress.

This is not an appropriate topic for this forum IMO

This is a discussion about an issue that may come up for a vote in our state. Do you think this forum should be devoid of any political discussion or is it just this specific topic that gets your goat?

We can know that a person has no logical approach to the discussion or rational or substantive argument to make on the subject when they dismiss anyone who may endorse the idea of marijuana being made available to people with legitimate medical reasons to use it as "potheads."

Particularly when several people supporting this, including myself, have clearly stated they aren't even smokers.

But then, I guess there are still plenty of people (such as yourself) who are very invested in and welcoming of a huge, Big Government, authoritarian nanny-state where the Powers That Be get to micro-manage the personal affairs and activites of private citizens.

An actual conservative would never, never ever support the government having the power to enact prohibition against something like weed.

Unfortunately, the vast majority of people claiming to be "conservatives" in this nation are, in reality, neo-con authoritarian Big Gov't nanny-state cheerleaders.

The precise opposite of what conservativism truly is and of the principles it represents.

You might make better arguments and better decisions if you abstained from pot for a while. Find a more suitable forum.

Fortunately, you are not the arbiter of what is acceptable discussion here.

You are a one trick pony, and it's a sad, old, tired trick.

Personally I don't think you even believe the things you say but rather want to portray some outmoded notion of a backwards hayseed Okie stereotype, in which case, good job!

At any rate, I notice you (again) fail to even attempt to rebut anything I said or address any of my points. Nice job of evasion. But it is obvious to everyone here that you have nothing to contribute and no grounding on which to state any case. That does make you worth a chuckle every so often, and that's about it. Mostly it's tedious.

You also seem to suffer an extreme deficit in reading comprehension. I haven't smoked pot in 20 years, don't miss it and don't care, except that I happen to believe people should be free to make their own decisions without the Huge Government Nanny-State Authoritarians you wish and hope for making our decisions for us and wasting money on legislation and incarceration on an issue in which clearly all the money spent on legislation and incarceration have been nothing but a waste.

Sort of like your posts here.

You nailed it.

So everyone who doesn't agree with you smokes pot?

Because the entire prohibitionists narrative could be used as the dictionary example of that.

Oh, well, notmeofficer just keeps coming on strong making a good case as to why marijuana should be legalized. I've never heard of anything like feces found in something legal, like cigarettes.

That includes me, in case I haven't made it clear. And should I feel goofy enough to get high, I just have to breathe real deep and fast for 30 seconds, or so. But I hope religious right Republicans don't make doing that a felony.

Your talking points are false, it will not happen in Oklahoma and it is time to accept that.

So, I gather johnspecial you quite strongly feel that sick people with difficult diseases in which medical marijuana may be able to treat better than conventional drugs, including little children with epilepsy, should be regarded as freaks or aliens. They are not anything like us. Therefore, they should kindly deport themselves from the state of Oklahoma. Did I really hit the nail with the hammer with you on that?

By the way, Gov. Fallin, in a big surprise move, announced her support for trial use of a marijuana ingredient to help some sick children, such as those with epilepsy. Aren't you gravely alarmed this Republican led move will be a stepping stone of support, ultimately leading to full legalization of rec marijuana in Oklahoma, like in Colorado?
