For the first time….do we have a shot???? Legalize all the way! The one main fact about marijuana, is that there is NO toxic level. You CANNOT OD on pot. Everything else that is legal(or not)can KILL YOU. I’m a performing musician and I see so many people wasted on alcohol every weekend making complete fools of themselves, not to mention possibly driving. Alcohol is a HUGE problem gone ignored. The sad difference is social acceptance…oh yeah, and a b.s. law. We can join the too short list of states with a clue. Have these other states plunged into the depths of the “devils smoke”, is there chaos, are “addicts” robbing dying people for their MEDICINE. The law enforcement excuse Pawlenty is using is a pathetic cop-out. Maybe he needs to witness a family member waste away because they were left too weak to eat from radiation treatments. I would like to see if Tim Pawlenty has the guts to put this choice in the hands of the people he has the honor of SERVING. Polling places anyone??

yes bush made a blunder with the tarp bill and started us on the path to socialism. But bail outs are a liberal idea, and your beloved obama is running with the idea. Your freinds in washington with their fair housing act (barney frank and chris dodd, franklin raines, and madam pelosi) are the ones ultimately responsible for this economic mess. Only true conservative leadership will downsize the govnm’t, tell lazy deadbeats NO, and tell fanny and freddie and citigroup to go fuck themselves and declare bankruptcy instead of we the tax payer paying for thier irresponsbility. screw obama, hes a freshman senator who is going to fail miserably. Im am a weed smoking conservative. we conservatives are the civil libertarians who are most outspoken about legalizing weed. we want government out of our lives, and YES that means nanny state liberals. to obama and the rest of the dems in washington: you dont know what is best for us, we are not stupid little children, we are capable of making our own descisions and dont want you to bail us out when we fail, how else are we going to learn?

It appears S.F. 97 and companion bill H.F 292 will receive majority support once again this legislative session. It appears that Tim Pawlenty will hold the “veto card.” Why is Governor Pawlenty’s approach so out of line with the will of the people of Minnesota? Furthering his own political career instead of doing the right thing? Perhaps. Please write Governor Pawlenty and urge him to support patients who already have a hard time of life and who courageously fight on. This is a bill of compassion and protecting patients. Please save the drug war rants for other bills at another time. This is about not subjecting patients to street level gangs and law enforcement. Don’t add to patient suffering. Please do the right thing and urge Governor Pawlenty to do the same!

Over the past 2 years I have gone threw 2 knee sugeries and am waiting for the third. After the first surgery I was put on lortabs then perciset and they made it almost impossible to work or function in sociaty. One day they would knock me on my ass and the next they wouldn’t even take the edge of the pain. The doctors only option for me was OTC drugs that with cronic use can damage your liver. So my choice was aleve or heavy duty narcotics. I looked into other options. I found and old friend from college did the trick wonderfully. I was able to regulate exectly how much was needed to take the edge off the pain. For the last six months I have been self medicating and have been able to get back into a few of the things that I loved but was in to much pain to do like walking my dogs and hunting. Last week I was subjected to a UA and quess what, I failed. Now I have to go threw a dependance class and lose up to 2 months of wages. I never used at or befor work because it was to dangerous in the line of work I did. I would rather deal with the pain. On my personal time I needed to take the pain away so I could do my everyday tasks that most people take advantage of. With one test that only shows if I have smoked in the past month not if I am impaired now I was marked as a “stoner.” My emplyeer tried to fire me and lost but did suspend me without pay until I completed a very expensive rehab at my own cost. I went from a model employee and citizen as a Volunteer Firefighter and EMT to a criminal in one pee. Even though I still have my job for now I will now lose everything without pay. This system needs to be fixed. Please write to your reps and urge them to support compation.
