So it was illegal for the state government to put medical MJ on the ballot in the first place. Same with recreational. That is something that should go through Congress. I’m all for helping someone out that genuinely needs it. As has been mentioned, you get heroin from the poppy plant but you also get a lot of pain pills from it that help people with REAL pain issues. Spare me the stats on opioid addiction. That is up to the individual. I’ve been prescribed them myself and I’m not hooked. Do I understand why people get hooked? Of course!! Those things make you feel great! Just like weed did in my misspent youth and just like alcohol did when I lived in the bottle for 5 years. The point is is that when you “legalize” something that was formerly illegal you open the floodgates.The medical MJ deal has never been about helping people who actually need help. That is a flat out lie. It is a classic case of “give an inch and they’ll take a mile”. It was a way to get their foot in the door. It shows you what kind of people these people are that they falsely appeal to decent people’s sense of compassion and kindness  (when pushing these state questions) to further their own secret plans. Make no mistake, recreational is and has always been the goal.Helping the few people who actually need help, help they already could have gotten in most cases from other REAL medication, is NOT worth it in the long run. PERIOD……People living in a constant state of intoxication on a mass scale is not a good thing. “Legalizing” another intoxicant is not a good thing. Making access to an intoxicant even easier for underage kids to get a hold of is not a good thing. It’s already been alluded to but the Dems and the RINOS want a populace that doesn’t think clearly and is 1000 times more likely to be dependent on the government. While the pot heads are cultivating weed these politicians are cultivating voters. This is not good. It never has been good and never will be good. 99% of users got a card so they can get high. No other reason. Getting high is not good. Just like getting drunk is not good.Who drank beer in high school? Your kids and grandkids are gonna be getting it from their older friends. No doubt about that. You think that’s a good thing?  You people seriously think 21 year olds having access to another intoxicant is a good thing? Use numbers are gonna go up dramatically. Weed is gonna be so widespread and the use so prevalent it will be staggering.The self avowed Libertarians can spare me your arguments and I’ll spare you the moral and spiritual arguments that actually matter more than anything I’ve already said. Just don’t have the time right now. A person does NOT have the right to do anything they want. Period…. That’s why there are laws. I agree there are too many laws but this is where we have it right. Had it right..I’m right, you’re wrong.Rant over</blockquote>
