So much for that mythical Montana ethic of ‘live and let live.’ No credible scientific facts were behind this decision except the attitude of ‘I don’t like it so it should be illegal.’ What a bunch of cowards and morons!

Phew!-close one. Can’t having dying cancer patients get medical marijuana. Boy, it’s a good thing that alcohol is legal.-it’s so innocuous and has the added advantage of helping dying patients…oh wait, that’s right it doesn’t do any of those things.

I’m surprised no one has suggested “State Run Medical Marijuana Stores.” Good profits and lots of taxes. The progressives would love another level of government control. It’s probably already in the Health Care Bill but no one has read it to find out.

The mantra of government bureaucrats ; WE KNOW WHAT’S BEST FOR YOU.

The creed of free men ; I KNOW WHAT"S BEST FOR ME.

I know what is best for my neighborhood and that is no shops selling MM.  I don’t care if you use it in the privacy of your own home for legitimate medical needs. I dont’ want my neighbors growing and selling from their homes.  How about FB doing a report on the ages of those getting MM cards locally.  I bet it is mostly 20s.  I hope the State fine tunes the law. Most people who voted for MM had no idea that the State would be so slack in their running it.

Get you facts straight.
So its ok to sell synthetic meth to kids (riddalin)
and synthetic heroin (Oxycontin)! you know Rush was hooked!!!!
Pharmacy’s killing Americans
FDA approved drugs kill Americans everyday.
Cannabis has NEVER killed anyone in 10,000 yrs

I am willing to respect the fact that dispensaries are not good in neighborhoods, or even certain parts of town.  It’s one thing to ban dispensaries, but it’s another thing altoghether to ban STATE APPROVED growing for patients.  According to this bill, patients who grow for themselves (and don’t distribute it in anyway) would have to either grow outside of city limits or get their medicine from outside of city limits, even though Montana State law gives them reasonable limits to grow their own medicine in their own home.  Why in the world would a city in Montana want the federal government trumping their state laws?  I thought that’s what Montana was about; less government intrusion, especially by the feds.

Wow, once again the people who run our little city cease to amaze me. Which is funny that you can go out and get drunk then wreck your boat or kill a family, but you can still have bars in city limits and by woodland park, but they wont allow some harmless plant? Mind blowing. They seem to be trapped in the reefer madness times. Its fine, we’ve smoked pot before the medical thing and we’ll continue to smoke it regardless of what happens. If you don’t want us to help the economy then fine. Good luck digging the city out of the economic hole those before us put us in. Maybe you can get the churches to pay taxes. Hahahaha, yea right…

What a relief to know that Jim Atkinson, Jeff Zauner, Harball and Clark will all be there to stand up for Federal regulations over States rights when it comes to some other difficult issues too. Gun regulations and civil rights such as gay marriage come to mind.

The simple fact is that the city council is comprised of individuals who do not understood liberty and individual rights via reason. They are unable to tell you WHY freedom to choose medicinal Cannabis is congruent within the nature of man to pursue his own choices. All they can do is speak in vague emotional appeals, but reason never fits into the picture. When you have these types of people holding the reigns of government power than you can bet your bottom dollar that your liberty as free men will not be protected.

Good for the city council.  Kalispell is doing the right thing.

Yea, good job city council, way to disallow people from getting the medicine they need. Way to make it a pain to get weed, yet you can go to any store anywhere and get alcohol. You are so silly. It’s a good thing they are mostly old, so when they finally all kick the proverbial bucket, we can go to work on fixing all the things they’ve destroyed. The clock is ticking…

yud: what is the right thing?

the city council is just uneducated and ignorrant to MM
except for the couple of them that smoke.  the rise in registered patients is rising so fast.  If these tools had any sense they would side up with the patients and caregivers.
Before long the numbers wil be so far in our favor that if you want anelected seat you better run on a pro-medical marijuana agenda look at california its already happening.  So people keep up the fight, good work.
