This is great for Montana and those who are in need of alternative medicines for the many illnesses that marijuana can comfort.  Montana needs to make sure that it passes HJ 24 and HJ 26 as well.  CALL YOUR REPS IN THE STATE HOUSE TO SUPPORT THIS.  We need states rights and state sovereignty in order to avoid federal laws from invading our privileges and rights.

what about the part about adding HEP_C to the list of conditions? any1 know about that and why it wasnt talked about? Hep-c the condition no one knows about or wants to talk about

- According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), hepatitis C Virus (HCV) is the most common chronic blood borne viral infection in the United States.

- Hepatitis C ten times more infectious than HIV.

The CDC estimates that there are 4.1 million Americans are infected with hepatitis C.

An estimated 8,000- 10,000 deaths per year in the US are attributed to hepatitis C.

Yippee.  Another victory for the pot heads and one step closer to all out legalization.

And what’s is the problem with that, Flyboy? It is every responsible adults right to use marijuana if they so choose. Just as it is their right to smoke tobacco, drink alcohol, or eat turkey. Because you don’t like something doesn’t mean you have the right to prohibit it by force of government.

I don’t like Meth, crack, heroine or murder either Roark, so does that mean they should not be prohibited by force of government?

Flyboy, the only legitimate purpose of law is to protect people’s rights.

Laws banning the possession or use of a plant for ANY purpose infringe on people’s right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

Whether meth, crack, heroin or murder are prohibited is not really at issue in a discussion of marijuana laws, but the principal of legitimate law protecting people’s rights still applies.

People have a natural right to life, so it is an offense of natural law for the murderer to infringe upon that right. The law justly addresses that offense.

People have a right to do as they wish with their bodies, minds, lives and future: including ruin the aforementioned with crack, meth or heroin. By interfering in the people’s exercise of those rights, the government’s law sets itself at odds with natural law.

Banning substances from possession or use is not a morally defensible position.

Good on the Senate…one step at a time.

YEAH GO GO GO MONTANA LETS GET THIS DONE NOW IT GOES TO THE HOUSE AND HOPE IT PASSES THERE TOO YIPPEE

I emailed Greg Barkus to vote for this, but he emailed me back saying flat out that he is strongly opposed to this. Oh yea…

It will pass the house easier I am guessing.

Why not?  we’ve got drunks, cell phone text messengers, people writing, putting on make-up etc. while driving.  why not add in some dopers.  Could make for even more entertaining traffic, or idiots at work etc.

Dumbing down America.  Keep it up boys and you’ll never know what hit you!!!

The drug war is a failure.  It is funding two things, a police state and drug lords.  Take away the laws, thus eliminate the black market and the money for the criminals.  LEGALIZATION = PEACE!
