A bit old news (Oct. 15th), but not sure if people had seen this.

1. What a shame

2. It's a shame for the people that need it

Is big pharma pushing against it?

3. Probably

Too many narcotics, including Oxycodone, routinely given out by script in this state. I've seen a lot of Seniors, including my husband, getting addicted to them after surgeries. Of course, think about all $$$ the big pharms are making from this. How much does it cost to grow MJ?

I just mailed in my ballot and voted Yes on this one.

4. Me Too And The Rest Of My Family...

plus lots of people who are still holding onto their absentee ballots! Just called my son this A.M. checking to see if he's mailed his and his wife mailed hers. Answer: NOT YET, so I reminded him with a little more FEELING this time! Told him I really wanted him to bring me his filled out ballot, I would put the stamp on it for him! I already know their views, so pushing hard for people to get the ballots in.

5. Did you watch the debate last night??

All of the NBC stations aired a debate for Medical Marijuana at 7p

The Sheriff from Hillsborough County said he didn't want to walk into Starbucks that was filled with Pot Smoke. It was a silly argument and hopefully people saw through it. This isn't about recreational use, but his whole argument was about recreational use.

6. no I missed that

That's a pretty silly argument against it.
