The problem with the medical system is that it costs hundreds of dollars to get in the door. That leaves many people out of the loop. At least with Prop. 207, we don't have to pay just to be able to purchase this non-toxic plant.
Maybe the Gov. could waive the requirements for elderly, low-income Arizonans to pay fees and prove they have aches and pains to be allowed to purchase this non-toxic herb.
"If our representatives don't hear that, then we have issues beyond marijuana legalization."
Indeed, this has always been the hang-up. Those issues are exemplified by our current Attorney General, namely, unrelenting ignorance and bigotry based on the misinformation and outright racism from which marijuana prohibition sprang in the 1930's. His pronouncement that, "Good people don't use marijuana," still resonates among law makers to the extent that even though legalization is spreading, it still involves unnecessary restrictions and costs to users. Despite abundantly clear evidence, the new laws reflect a lack of acceptance among legislators that marijuana is dramatically less harmful than alcohol or tobacco. Yet, they see no problem with those toxic products being available at every corner market.
