This petition is being put together in an attempt to elevate the government of the State of Kentucky into a position where they may be able to alleviate the stresses placed upon policing departments, courtrooms, jails, prisons, and citizens of the State of Kentucky, in regards to arrests from the sale and possession of marijuana. By legalizing marijuana medicinally, the State of Kentucky would have a chance to seek violent criminals as well as house these criminals due to the release of non-violent marijuana offenders. This will save the State of Kentucky an exponential amount of money. In addition to this, the State of Kentucky will be able to place a tax on the sale and servicing of all marijuana sold in medicinal dispensaries. This taxed money can be used for any number of things for the State of Kentucky, such as medical services for at-risk youth and adults, outreach and enrichment services for residents, construction for governmental buildings, repair for roadways and bridges, re-opening of amusement parks, business loans from the State Government, and numerous other things; anything, that the State of Kentucky desires.
Please, Spread the word about this petition and do all that you can to release the grip held over a natural substance that can be used to aide smokers and non-smokers.
Upon gaining the signatures of ONE MILLION people, this petition along with a proposal of budget and revenue for the State of Ky, will be submitted to the members of the United States House of Representatives and Senate from Kentucky, Governor Steve Beshear, Mayor Greg Fischer, Attorney General Jack Conway, Former Mayor Jerry Abramson, Secretary of State Elaine Walker as well as a host of other notable political figures and business people in the State of Kentucky.
I desperately want off ALL my pain meds. Yes, one of them is a narcotic. I learned about medical marijuana today. I am confused and extremely angry that this is not available. THERE WAS A 25% DROP IN DEATHS DUE TO OPIOIDS IN STATES WHERE MARIJUANA IS LEGALIZED ! Can't you understand there are people desperate for help? One lady got off of 26 different medications because of medical pot ! I'm not hearing any negatives, at all, about medical pot. It truly concerns me that you have an inability to go in a positive direction on this subject. This is sooo easy for you to fix. So WHY aren't you fixing such an easy problem ? You appear to have ZERO compassion for so many people suffering. I just don't get it. Thank God elections are right around the corner.
