Guess they’d have to change MN Statute 297d then too. For those that don’t know, that statute allows you to pay a tax to legally possess or sell up to 42.5 grams of Marijuana. By the way: the same law allows you to possess and sell up to 7 grams of meth, heroin, etc, or up to 10 hits of exctasy, LSD, etc. As long as you pay the tax.

Ortman and Olin must be smoking that medical crack john walters speaks of. Everytime I start missing home ( I moved away 8 years ago) I just get myself updated on the Minnesota political scene and it reminds me why I left. It’s to bad Minnesota does not have voter intitiative. I don’t suppose the politicians back there could handle letting the people actually have a voice. Everybody should be writing their reps to pass ballot initiative legislation so law enforcement groups and other misguided self interest groups can’t stiffle legitimate democratic efforts to give the people what they want.

what exactly are they trying to prove? that they like to overfill prisons? that their cops are extremely bored? that the state of Minnesota is completely backwards compared to almost every other state? maybe they don’t want open-minded people to even think about living in their desolate wasteland of a state? maybe they have never read an unbiased research-based text in their entire lives? get a life you bunch of useless arrogant morons…

also no one in their right mind would even pay only 20 for a half, that is, unless they are as stupid as the politicians in the article i am commenting on.

That’s a great way to fix the economy. JAIL MORE CITIZENS!

Or is restitution costs their big game this time?

The for-profit prison system is an abomination.

As someone who lives in Ortman’s district, I couldn’t be prouder. Gawd, what an idiot! Please, PLEASE don’t ever come up back with a “no new taxes” argument for anything in the future, you fraud. If you think we have money to pay for this, then there’s nothing we can’t afford.

Obviously this is a vindictive reaction by the police, who are afraid of the medical MJ becoming reality in Minnesota.

Massachusetts just voted to decriminalize by 65% to 35% – what would the percentage be in Minnesota? Easily over 50%.

Sure… lets throw more people in jail for using a plant… out of touch, clueless idiots, get out of pollitics and keep your moral agenda at church on Sunday.

Have a seed? Go down to your nearest green area/park/forest/where ever and plant it. They want a war on drugs? lets give them one.
