Half the story Statesman

You left out half of the story....

"Since then, Davidson successfully placed marijuana reform initiatives before the electorate in Hailey in November 2007 and again in May of this year. Both times voters approved measures to legalize medical use of marijuana, to legalize industrial hemp and to make enforcement of marijuana laws the lowest priority for the city's police. Voters on both occasions rejected an initiative to mandate that the city tax and regulate marijuana sales and use.

Hailey officials have declined to enforce the voter-approved initiatives and instead are seeking a court ruling on the legality of the initiatives."

I wonder why they don't want to report that a town in Idaho approves of medical MJ????

Free money to pursue an agenda over an illegal substance?

I'd use the money to pay bills.

Where do I sign up?

Maijuana? If legalized, Doctor visits should skyrocket.

Doubt you will get an Rx in Idaho

Submitted by YPmule on Wed, 08/27/2008 - 5:45pm.

I doubt you could find many (any?) doctors in Idaho that would prescribe MJ tho.

Many years ago, my mother was the RN at a doctor's office. Often when I would go pick her up for lunch, the Big Drug Company Pusher had just dropped off all sorts of free samples, note pads, pens, gifts for the office crew to "bribe" the doctor into prescribing their drugs. In the lobby were elderly patients with grocery bags full of prescription bottles to be refilled.

Just think, if doctors prescribed diet, exercise, meditation and a bite of brownie, there might not be so many pill bottles!

Personally YP,

I agree 100%. And so many of those pills do far more harm than good. Every day I see a new lawsuit filed against a drug company. Not to mention the cost of the stuff!

Dude?

What were we talking about?

The real reason cannabis is illegal.

Submitted by apryason on Sat, 08/30/2008 - 6:02am.

Unless people are educated, first, about the real reason cannabis was outlawed, many so-called "marijuana" activists appear to look like a bunch of drug abusers. The Hailey campaign is no exception. They never responded to my suggestion that they first start an education campaign so future voters are more informed. Cannabis was outlawed because it produces 4 times the cellulose per acre that trees produce and requires a fraction of the chemicals to process into paper. These chemicals are made by powerful corporations such as DuPont. Read "The Emperor Wears No Clothes" by Jack Herer. http://www.jackherer.com/chapters.html . It will never be legalized as long as the companies that profit from tree-paper chemistry have their way. Ryan Davidson, the MPP, etc. are distracting us from the real issues. Half the forests of the world have been needlessly ground into paper as a direct result of cannabis prohibition.

oh geeze, another pot story...

Submitted by melaguy on Sat, 08/30/2008 - 6:45am.

...that will result in endless of pages of leftists whining that they can't get high because pot is illegal. Great.

While the right celebrates the legality
