Last week I expressed concerns about the dangers of medical marijuana. I think my point was understood, that excessive “medicalization” could make liberation of cannabis more difficult. Thanks to everyone who replied with thoughtful feedback.
If you care deeply about the evolution of Montana’s medical marijuana law, be sure to pay attention to the legislative committee responsible for fixing it. You do have a voice, but you need to speak to be heard.
Some of you asked what next steps may be. In my view, some of us should work to preserve and extend our medical marijuana law, being mindful of over-medicalization, and simultaneously offer legislators a way out of the medical morass: a tax & regulate bill. That’s my goal here at NORML.
Such a bill may or may not pass the legislature, but with your help, we will certainly get people talking about it — and that might lead to a ballot initiative, which is exactly what happened with medical marijuana in Montana in 2003 and 2004. You’d help with that, right?
Anyway, here’s the news:
