SUPPORTERS TO GATHER AT S.C. STATE HOUSE …

|| By FITSNEWS || A group of citizens supporting the legalization of medical marijuana will gather at the S.C. State House next week.

Joining them?  S.C. senator Tom Davis and state representative Jenny Horne – lead sponsors of legislation which would “create a medical marijuana program for cultivation, product testing, quality and dispensing” in the Palmetto State.

Davis and Horne’s efforts have been opposed by law enforcement leaders like S.C. State Law Enforcement Division (SLED) chief Mark Keel – who apparently have nothing better to do with their time.

In fact believe it or not, Keel is actively opposing a limited cannabinoid oil measure approved last year that helps kids find relief from previously uncontrollable seizures.  Davis was the sponsor of that legislation, too.

We support Davis and Horne’s legislation … of course we support the decriminalization of marijuana (and other drugs) for medical and recreational purposes.  It is simply not government’s purview to tell an adult what they can or cannot do (or grow) on their own time on their own property – so long as those actions don’t impose on the liberty of others.

Anyway, the rally for medical marijuana will take place on Wednesday, May 20 on the south steps of the S.C. State House at 11:30 a.m. EDT.

We need action taken at the federal level.
Please call the white house comment line at (202) 456-1111 and ask that the President issue an executive order to remove marijuana from schedule 1 immediately.

Gotta love the Bible Belt. We can have as many guns as we want, but heaven forbid we gamble or smoke a plant, as THOSE are bad. SMH

You’re an idiot. What’s your problem with owning a gun? Using drugs is harmful and a step back for civilization. Gambling, well that’s for lazy people who are bad at math.

How about you both sod off and stop trying to make decisions for other people? Weed is weed, people have smoked it for ages and will continue to smoke it. Guns are guns, people have owned them since the birth of this country and will continue to enjoy owning them. How about you leave the responsible adults alone to whatever they enjoy and start worrying about the people you actually need to worry about.

Smoking a joint in your own house, shooting targets at a gun range, when did you whiners get harmed by that?

Yes, all those deaths from guns pale in comparison to pot related deaths.

@FITS – Why don’t you send one of your reporter-ettes to Colorado and see how the marijuana legalization is working out? There are teens going psychotic and jumping off buildings. EVERYWHERE you go, reeks of weed. The rehab centers are filled to capacity.

Colorado is rolling in the money is what’s happening out there. So much so that neighboring states don’t like their residents’ money filling Colorado’s coffers so have decided to sue like little bitches.

You seem to be advocating the default position S.C. has always enjoyed…knuckle dragging and being on the wrong side of history at every single possible turn.

Teens are going psychotic everywhere. Suicides due to rejection of gay teens by their families are at an all time high, just as one reason this is true The law in CO does not make it legal for minors to smoke pot. nor does it increase availability for them. If anything it is harder to get because the cartels are being crowded out and risky street weed is not as much a factor. The combination of booze and any number of different drugs including legally prescribed ones is what is driving kids and adults into rehab and if the centers are filling up that is good because those people desperately need the help. But this is all beside the point. The rally is about a medicine to help children, anyway, not a recreational drug. Throw out red herrings much?

Keels is also fighting against helping single parents and children receive the child support payments due them! He has still not enacted a child support database that was mandated by federal law over a decade ago. He and the governor just violate the law and use millions of our tax dollars to pay federal fines for the crime.

Fastest growing industry in America? Legal Marijuana, coming to your town very soon….#1 crop in California and LEGAL in ALL west coast states, #$$$GrowsOnTrees.

the west coast thanks you a trillion (dollar$), filling any order anytime.

27 states and the DOC allow marijuana but not 1 southern state, lol, nobody denies freedom like the south.

Deaths by alcohol: Millions.
Deaths by tobacco: Millions.
Deaths by guns: Millions.
Deaths by prescription drugs: Quadrupled in decade.
Deaths by marijuana: 0, EVER……(Centers for Disease Control Statistics).

new studies on animals by the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT claim marijuana kills some cancers and reduces the size of others…1000s of Cancer research centers sucking Billion$ and yet not 1 study with marijuana decades later, not 1…and you think they are trying to cure cancer?#AmericanIdiots.
