Oklahoma Governor Mary Fallin Does Not Support Marijuana

Governor Fallin hosted a Facebook Town Hall Meeting today online. After a number of people asked various questions, dozens seeking her support for medical marijuana, Governor Fallin responded by saying she doesn't support legalizing marijuana altogether. Like many politicians before her, she stated that it leads to other drug use (false), causes fatalities (false), and ruins lives (false). She started off her message by saying how wonderful technology is today to help reach her audience, though she may not have realized that the same technology can potentially turn away tens of thousands of voters.

Marijuana didn't ruin these people's lives, the fucking government arresting them did! Goddamn ignorant cunt.

Call your Congressman before April 2012. Ask them to support Compassionate Care Act of 2012. Please do not deny or delay relief for people suffering from cancer, chronic pain, and other diseases with crippling pain. It's not right to prevent the people from getting relief it can provide. Punishing those who suffer is NOT the answer. If the doctor prescribes it, then it should be available in pharmacies. 16 other states are changing. Make 2012 Oklahoma's year to change, or elect others that will

If you're so concerned about people getting high and driving why don't you work hard to illegalize alchohol in Oklahoma? Oh, thats right....because we already tried that!!! Prohibition doesn't work!

Oklahoma is #1 in abuse of prescription drugs. GOOO BIG PHARMA!! KEEP TELLING US WHAT TO TAKE AND WHAT NOT TO TAKE, WE NEED YOU!!!

"High and driving..." bogus argument (alcohol is worse, proven fact)

Saying people "chose" to be in prison is misconstruing facts with dogma.

Drugs don't addict people. People addict themselves.

"If you're addicted to weed, it's 'cause weed got there first." ~ Joe Rogan

Treat the people, quit fighting drugs (ploy to discriminate against black and mexican people).

Use = Abuse , if it's illegal. So, make it legal and watch crime/abuse rates go down!

Dumb twat.

It has taken over 50 years for the real truth about cannabis to come out, but it is finally happening. As more and more people become more educated about cannabinoids, and doctors and scientists continue discovering its many possibilities, the world is likely to be truly amazed. It actually could and probably will play the lead role in curing cancer. Ask the scientists that are researching it now, the doctors, professors and many scholars that are coming out with the truth. Pray for the truth.

I'm just an old OHkie farm girl who believe that it just root of all evil. She in-braces ignorance harder than she dose her husband I bet.

You notice how she has the same mannerisms as george w bush at 0:06,that smart ass type look republicans give when they know they're fܢking people

Mary Fallin is such a crooked lady along with most of the state of Oklahoma.

She's also probably receiving kickbacks from gangs who profit off of marijuana prohibition.

She just endorsed suspending a kid for taking a picture of a corrupt substitute teacher who was sleeping on the job.

@0:57,

She's also a moron. If you legalize marijuana, you greatly lessen the substance abuse problems in America because people could get help without fear of evil legal reprisals.

Okay, Oklahoma's "drug of choice" is METH. I live in this shitty state. A majority of the people who smoke marijuana ARE NOT bad people, and do not do any other drugs.

Also, there's nothing stopping a drunk person from driving a car. At least someone who's baked will convince themselves Cheez-it's aren't worth it..
