The Show Me Cannabis Initiative: Missouri Citizens Take Matters Into Their Own Hands; Will Legalize Marijuana in 2012 -- as many as 6 states!!!

YES I LIVE IN MISSOURI!! WOOOOT!!!

Where the heck can I find a petition to sign....my husband and I live in Festus..............

Yea that's what i want to know. I live in st.louis and i know a LOT of people that would want to vote. Pretty much everyone in st.louis smokes cannabis or have smoked it.

Imagine that

Human beings that are capable of dealing with thier problems .

I have to say that this is an extremely ambitious bill considering that just a few months ago, Missouri passed laws that declared any welfare recipient that tests positive for drugs will, as well as losing their benefits, have their children removed from their home for neglect.

Missouri has always taken the hard line in this kind of thing. I'd be shocked if this actually made it.

If Missouri passes this looks like Ill be moving to Missouri

MICHIGAN IS GOING FOR MARIJUANA LEGALIZATION, GETTING PETITIONS SIGNED. SO ADD MICHIGAN TO THE LIST OF STATES PLEASE.

This is SO important!!

Get this spread and get the word out there folks!

Hurray for legalization!!

Yep, then my honey can take the tablet-form for cancer.. Helps a lot!!

listen I smoke and love me some ganja and have a medical license here in Cali. But I am AGAINST legalization. Dont you guys understand that Phillip Morris will take over the industry the moment it is legalized? they have already bought thousands of acres in the emerald triangle in northern cali. They will ruin marijuana just like they did tobacco

All drugs should be legal, I think it should be up to employers to decide which drugs they will accept their employees use. Because every drug can be used for different things not just for recreation.

Hell yea!

Tax of only a 100 a bow? Damn, it could easily be higher than that, but whatever.

Even if they were to "legalize" pot, employers would still have the right to not employ users. Meaning lets say you work for a company like Anheuser Busch and they have a drug testing policy, and along comes legalization.....well they'll still test you and you will still be fired if you violate company policy.

So I guess it's all cool and everything to think that after it is legal life will just be green grass and high tides but reality is a bitch.

I live in Colorado and am a medical marijuana patient. I am very aware of the marijuana legalization movement and the occupy movement. I get emails from NORML, the Marijuana Policy Project and a few others. Let me clarify some things.

1. California is having problems with their pot laws because they didn't write it into their constitution. They didn't do it right in order to keep the feds off their backs.

2. Colorado has written the law into their state constitution. They have the Department of Revenue and another department that I can't remember the acronym for that monitors the whole operation. The price for a medical card just went down from $90 to $35. They can't handle the load. Each dispensary is required to spend thousands on video surveilance that both departments have live access to at all times. The whole process and system is organized and making Colorado hundreds of thousands of dollars in state revenue.

3. Because California didn't write their laws correctly, they have left the door wide open for all of these raids. Colorado isn't having this problem. Our state handles things just fine. Everything is under control.

4. Along with MO and other states Colorado also has it set to be on November's ballot to outright legalize marijuana. It is already decriminalized. It is about like getting a traffic ticket if you are caught with an oz or less.

5. If a majority of the states decide to make marijuana legal individually, then there will be nothing else the feds can do. States will trump the feds. WE ARE THE PEOPLE folks! Do not forget that. We have power in numbers. We are the 99%.

I could go on. Colorado is setting the bar for their marijuana laws. Join us.

Very excellent point. Especially people in the transportation industry, (who are being required to qualify for TSA clearance/certification).

If they are growing commercial fiber hemp crops in missouri, that is going to totally fuck up the cannabis crops for smoking. The hemp will pollinate every crop statewide, indoors and outdoors so I don't think it's going to work out quite the way people hope.

People on glp are not awake as they pretend to be, how about this you will see how legalization will end fiat currency. You can't have a tax if currency no longer exist..

If Missouri does this ASAP, it will create BILLIONS for Missouri in tourism.

Really smart move on their part.

Excellent idea. And should be everywhere.

the governor of AZ fought like hell 2 stop MMJ here, until she discovered the cash it was. Now they r opening up dispensaries state wide.

I posted the link in the opening post to the site that is handling the petition drive. If you don't have a place near you, email them and they will send you a petition that you can pass around to your friends. You must all be registered MO voters to sign.

Thanks!

If it was legalized you could maybe get off your ass and grow your own

Exactly. I see this argument ALL the time...." oh big business will ruin it if they legalize" BS. Simple solution, if you don't like what you think big business will do to it, grow your own, if it's legal it should be no problem.

And besides all that, how will they ruin it? People don't want to smoke bad bud, and big business is in things for the money. Bad product= bad sales, something tells me the suits at Phillip Morris will figure that one out fast.

Very encouraging! Good info - thank you for adding it to the discussion. Sure looks like you guys are doing it right.

Once marijuana is legalized it would be considered discrimination for medical marijuana users

Job security for lawyers. We are trying to produce more jobs, right?
