Yes, I think so to. We have to protect our endangered species or they will end up extinct.

Yeah for bats they eat bugs!!

Ya, they are picking of voters left and right doing stuff like this. Ward Franz from West Plains MO is responsible for putting this to the house.

The problem with the laws are:
1. A felony for K2 now your going to give kids and education in Prison.. They go in for K2 and come out with a PHD in smuggling, cooking dope and what ever else they learn from REAL criminals.
2. If they would legalize Medical Cannabis in MO alot of your K2 use will stop.
3. Kids/Teens if they want to get high they will find a way to do so.. And can with plenty chemicals in your own home.

I recently took a trip to Colorado, land of legal medical cannabis they had no idea what this K2 fiasco was about. See Colorado doesn't have a K2 problem because they have legalized MMJ for medical reasons. There are lots of people who take it for pain control just cause it is legal (k2) now its banned in quite a few towns within our state.

What makes me mad about the entire issue is some people are using this substance for pain control. Since it's legal. Personally I dont like it nor do I use it. When Ron Richards is approached about HB 1670 Medical Cannabis for Chronically and Terminally ill patients he doesn't have the time nor does he have the votes. Its really funny that it has never left his desk as he doesn't want it to pass. It was said it was talked about in with the K2 on the floor and was voted down so we are told. NOT enough votes, a common quote we get from his office.

There are countless emails that are sent to our elected officials and they do not do the job they were voted in for but for their own personal agenda's. Why should people have to suffer over personal bigotry of our elected officials. When you cast your vote this coming up year for reps and senators.. just ask yourself what has any of them done for you.. Or your community.. E-mails are deleted and blocked. Our voices do not count even when your face to face with these people.
Medical Cannabis helps thousands of people with their every day lives. I have seen this first hand and seen the acceptance of it. In the lands of medical legalization things are good for some. People are treated affectively cannabis and can go about living productive days.

I just dream of a day when I can say.. This is a great day, my pain is at a minimum today.. But no I deal with horrible pain daily and can't get help from so called Medical Professionals in my area. They don't have to expect that I tend to treat pain with Cannabis but they darn sure should give me something that is affectively treating my symptoms instead of taking things away.

And the media does a great job putting things together as well. Medical Cannabis activists are not backing K2 they are against the government "making laws over incense "It says on the package 'not for human consumption.' In all caps I might add. If you're dumb enough to smoke incense they maybe you do need to get sick. they are only making it worse. Now its going to be shoved underground and made higher, more unsafe and anyone can get their hands on it.. Do you think drug dealers care how old you are to buy something as long as you have money its yours. And its for the sake of our children. Let me tell you.. you kids can get worse. They can rob you of your pain medications (narcotics), get meth, sniff glue, huff paint, Huff Readi Whip, any are-sol cans, free on from your air conditioners. Should we start banning all of this.

Lets hope this catches on all over the state.

I would have to agree with you about these doctors. What will they do next outlaw the energy drinks??

I think doctors need to be careful when they "diagnose" something like this. I live in pain every day and I have had my doctor tell me "you shouldn't be feeling pain" or "That can't hurt like that".

I used to drink 2 Rockstar drinks per day and sodas on top of that. I know people who drink beer and red bull all night and never have problems.

I would defiantly get a second opinion.

Instead why don't these lawmakers lower their pay. The average wage for these people who only are in session 4 months get over 31,000. Why don't they lower THEIR wages. We all know some of these legislators are only for big business and not for the people.. Just another example of your tax dollars at work!

And they are drinking cough syrup to get a buzz too, shall we make that illegal.

Its an incense for Petes sake if people smoke it then its their problem not the problem of the HOR..

Temporarly inablilily to feel pain.. MY Gosh that is what Im looking for.. LOL It just blows my mind that this REP can go the distance for gettting something off of the street but doesn't return phone calls or emails from his constituants. What he should be worried about is the hundreds of his community that is in favor or legalizing Medical Cannabis for the sick and dying of MO.

Ya, lets just clean the streets up.. An easier way to do this is to allow the sick and dying access to medical cannabis.

Whats next?? you know kids die from huffing gas, glue, spray cans and more. Are we going to make those substances illegal too.. And don't forget kids are dying from huffing antifreeze from air conditioners. They drink alcohol and more we going to make that illegal too??

Its simple the government cant keep out of individuals business. Its a strip club people get nude.. Whats the point if they are regulating it.. Stupid stuff there.

Keep people from stripping while people are sick and dying and can't get any compassion at Capital Hill.. Guess we should have went naked to get attention.. LOL

Bravo. Bless you and your family Pro4pot. Im sad your wife has such a hard time and am glad at least she found greatness in Cannabis. Its just too bad our House of Representatives are not all compassionate. MO HB1670 would benefit people just like this and more.

Mr. Ron Richards was asked today about this House Bill and was asked what was it about and he was told, Medical Cannabis and He put his hand up and said. NO GO AWAY. Nice compassion there isn't it?? We have jumped threw hoops trying to get an appointment and are told Mr. Richards is a busy man. A group of us went to the capital today to ask for support some offices opened their doors and talked with us but he wouldn't speak with us at all.

You know what I would like is a debate with the admin of the house. People could hear from both sick and well.
