MARIJUANA: Don’t legalize it, Idaho

I’m strongly opposed to legalizing “medical” marijuana. I care deeply about those with serious health problems. I simply do not believe that legalizing a crude street drug is the right way to help them. 

Voters should read the actual language of the petition now being circulated. It is very different from the way it’s being described by its sponsors and the people gathering signatures. If this initiative passes, state agencies would be required to create and oversee both the manufacturing and sale of marijuana, with up to 16 dispensaries operating across Idaho. In addition, marijuana could be purchased online and delivered in person. That amounts to a statewide, on-demand marijuana marketplace.
