Effort to Legalize Marijuana in Missouri Underway - KSPR Springfield, MO

[BreakingDownBuds]

What kills me is that everything "The War on Drugs" propaganda has said about Cannabis is a complete lie. First they said that if you use marijuana it would result in loss of brain cells. When research was done it was actual discovered that the use of Hemp can stimulate brain tissue to produce brain cells and can also interact with nerves in the brain that are running too slow to move faster and too fast nerves to slow down. Its so helpful to the human body it should have never been ilegalized

The government wants us to use thier drugs so we can get sick and die before retirement age and the medical community don't want us to use natural remodies because they would go broke I have glaucoma and they try to give me drops that have so many side effects I am having a really hard time finding weed because of close minded asshole WAKE UP YOU DRUNK ASS RETARDS weed don't kill you cigarettes and alcohol does I have a choice break the law or go blind what would you choose??????

[MoRockHound]

the narcotics officer is only worried about his job. Richard Nixon formed a committee to investigate the possible health issues of maijuana. they reported that it was safer than alcohol and posed no longterm health issues. then last year the new england journal of medicine, COMPOSED OF DOCTORS, stated that Cannabis is safe for adult use. the federal government has no business telling us what we can do with our bodies. if women can get abortions and murder children then i want to smoke pot!

[stlouisrocker65]

[MichaelQNelson]

That guy on the phone, is an idiot saying there's no evidence marijuana is safe. Prick's only worried about the money for his department...

[todd2010]

Jason Grellner didn't go to college.... or doesn't have internet access... Do some research man (there are zero recorded deaths attributed to Marijuana use) (FOR FUCK SAKE, A PERSON CAN BUY TOBACCO AT 18????????????) #RONPAULSWAG #TAXMONEYFORINTERNALIMPROVMENT­S #TAXFORMONEYFORTHE 5-0.... #TAXMONEYFORMISSOURISCHOOLS

Typical ignorant pig...OINK OINK....he just likes busting high school kids..makes him feel like a big man!

[IAmMichaelMyers]

With all due respect, that cop is an idiot. Nothing he said was true and it's obvious that everything he believes was told to him by the almighty government, so therefore he takes it as truth.

Alcohol is extremely dangerous. Marijuana is not. Getting drunk kills brain cells. Getting high actually promotes brain cell growth according to new studies.

The medicinal qualities of this PLANT are effective and 100x safer than any prescription drug.

Here's our chance Missouri, don't blow it!

[bluedragonfly97]

I'll sign it..  Bring it here...

[justinwnichols03]

@bluedragonfly97 where are you located at in MO? There are Petition forms in Joplin, Springfield, KC, STL (soon), Lebanon (soon).

try Show-me Cannabis Reform on Facebook for more locations and to even be apart of the movement!

[bluedragonfly97]

@justinwnichols03 I'm just 30 minutes south of STL. I haven't heard about any petitions going around close to here.

[eloiserat22]

Let the people decide! Missouri has a lot of intelligent free thinkers.

[joeman144]

Makes me so proud to be from Missouri :) lol

[tatomuck18]

dont be proud for long. Its not legal yet. Some idiot is just trying to get it on the ballot so the voters could decide. In Missouri, this bill is lucky to get one percent of the vote!

[joeman144]

@tatomuck18 Do you have any idea how many Librarians their are in Missouri?

[jkm555]

@joeman144 Me too.

[jaker0135]

The guy was worried about Federal Contracts, Federal Money, Federal everything. Remind this narcotics officer that he works for MISSOURI AND NOT THE FEDS!!! Give me Victory or give me Death!

[1985lsf]

LOSE the Feds, we are the United STATES of America, not the Federalized States of America. We need this win and we need to return hemp to the fields!

[22knowa]

this self serving cop afraid of losing his cushy job so the truth never gets out.

[merlehagfan]

If Show Me Cannabis can get this on the ballot I believe it will pass. Mr. Grellner's so called facts are weak indeed. The federal regulations still claim marijuana has no medicinal use. In fact, marijuana may be one of the most medicinal plants in the world. The next great medicines may be derived from cannabis. Spread the word Missourians.

[merlehagfan]

Let's face it. Mr. Grellner wants to continue persecuting cannabis users. By persecute, I mean put them in jail/prison, mar their record with a "drug" charge, fine them, and see to it that the lowly "potheads" have a hard time getting a job because cannabis its so easy to detect in urine. According to these types we should continue the prohibition madness because it's good business for police.

[justinwnichols03]

There is scientific studies to back the legitimacy of marijuana use. Learn to do some research Jason Grellner, before making yourself out to be an idiot on the subject. Anyway, given the decreased use of hard drugs in countries where it is legal to smoke pot, Amsterdam for example, I would say that it is more than overdue for the US to legalize the plant as well. Also still waiting on some signup sheets to be sent to me so I can go out and collect signatures for the cause!
