Do NOT vote against I-502... hear me out.

Why would you think that this is a good thing? The lesser of two evils???? Bullshi*!!!!! We all know that when a bill comes to pass, it is loaded with "earmarks" that have NOTHING to do with the bill in the first place. It's just layers and layers of crap. It up to interpretation as to who is going to benefit, how it's going to be implemented, if they are going to enforce it etc etc....I am not confident of how this would be handled by our states and local government, how can YOU be confident in it? I live in a country that doesn't approve of it, I live in a state that did approved medical marijuana but I live in a city that has a ban on any new medical marijuana businesses. Go figure! The law needs to be clear and simple and NOT open to interpretation by some ego maniac attorney general or mayor.

When did I say this way a good thing? I think it's absolutely idiotic. The initiative is NOT full of earmarks, how about you read it? I am saying it would be nearly impossible for any court to convict you of a DUI, and furthermore for you to be so stoned you actually get pulled over for your shit driving, you shouldn't be on the road.

Even if I'm wrong, this changes nothing. Driving under the influence of any level of cannabis is illegal NOW, this makes it more legal.

My body may not testify against me without my permission. I'm pretty sure the Founding Fathers would consider per se DUI laws as outlandish and illegal as making their hemp crops a felony. Its bad enough when the politicians give us bad laws, inexcusable when we initiative in our own for the purposes of corporate special interests.

All 502 gives you is the "freedom" to buy an ounce of cannabis from the State. This is not liberty, but it IS idiotic.

Only in 2012 do people think their freedom looks like a law that lets you acquire something from, or with the permission of, the State.

The benefits of this Initiative far out-weigh the negatives in my opinion. Vote Yes!

This is clearly a personal decision everyone must make.

However, I wish to see less people going to jail for marijuana...this will certainly drastically decrease that number.

No it wont...Why would anyone vote YES for something that only monoplizes weed sales and distribution... only the State will profit from this

If you can NOT grow marijuana in the privacy of your own home LEGALLY without penalty...then its NOT legalization...PERIOD

VOTE YES ON I - 514.

So to recap I-502 ....WE are legalizing marijuana...you can buy only it from us .... dont you grow it yourself and try to cut us out.... thats illegal

If I relied on others for my marijuana I would have spent $100s of 1000s over the past 25 yrs....... insted I have saved that

I agree 100% Colonuggs. Its NOT legalization when they tell you, you CANT do something.

F**k I-502 when they tell me I cant grow a plant that helps my dad walk without pain, and F**k I-502 when they wanna charge $300-400/ounce to help him get out of bed.

There's an even better chance that the "store fronts" wont come to existance because Washington state wont put their state employees into a position that violates Federal Law.

coolkid.02...people will still be going to jail if they didnt buy their pot from the state run stores, because the likelyhood of them being open is slim. So that bag you got from your buddy...The one who is growing a plant illegally, is still gonna be illegal...Not because its pot, but because you didnt give your money to the state.

And soburntoutman...driving under the influence is irresponsible...no matter what the substance. If you're drozy because of a Benadryl, you can still kill somebody when you fall asleep at the wheel.

"Driving under the influence of any level of cannabis is illegal NOW, this makes it more legal." So you're alright with irresponsible behavior being more legal, even though its still dangerous and irresponsible? Like those ads for "Buzzed Driving" say...You can still kill somebody when you're buzzed. 5ng/l is a ridiculously low amount, and most heavy smokers will have that much THC in their system for a month after they last smoked. But focusing on the DUI aspect of I-502 because it'll give people a way to get out of a ticket for irresponsible behavior is just wrong.

I-502 is a way for the state to squeeze out money from its citizens, and its money they will never see...Because marijuana is still a Schedule 1 drug, and profiting from the sale of that substance is illegal on a federal level. I-502 is a lose lose for everybody...But especially the people who need medical marijuana the most.

Vote NO on I-502

It's a difference of opinion.

Keep it classy

There is no such thing as true "freedom"

I will admit this is not a very good bill for those of us with Authorizations

However, if you are not Authorized in this state I see no pitfall...
