I am in the minority on here, of course.
I am not against legalizing it, and I am not for legalizing it.
I honestly do not have enough real knowledge on the subject. One thing I do know.
Meth is killing our state and several others. There are so many people in the judicial system linked to meth now that it is a pandemic.
I remember when the word "Drugs" was used to mean "Pot"... now the word drugs is directly linked to Meth.
If MJ is not going to cause wrecks, and cause more addiction that will harm society. ANd get us away from this evil meth addiction... Well, now I am just talking to talk I guess...

I respect that response 
I think the first step is learning the difference between Meth and MJ. I agree 100%, and can understand why some may be confused and apprehensive about this legislation because of the lack of understanding what the substance is, what it does, and how it will be controlled. Just being told "it'll be alright" isn't enough for some who lack the knowledge.
I encourage you to research, and learn as much as you can so you can make an informed decision when you cast your ballot.
ETA: Meanwhile, I'm stuck in Missouri, and Arkansas is looking to be the more progressive State. WTF?

I'd dare say that cell phones cause (or would cause) 1000 times more wrecks. Also, much more harm has been done to society by making it illegal.

I'd way rather this state have a weed problem than a meth and painkillers problem, like we have right now.
The problem with keeping MJ a "drug" is that it gets lumped in with the truly terrible stuff. Kids try "illegal" weed and think "all the drug free stuff is bullshite".
Weed is its own thing. It can be a useful painkiller. It isn't any worse than drinking, and everyday weed use is a lot better on your body than everyday drinking and everyday painkiller use.
And I don't even smoke weed, probably wouldn't try to get my hands on it via prescriptions, ever.
But if I get cancer or chronic disease, I'd like to have the option.
