BlackmoreRulz...Thanks for posting the FB site. And if any of you are going to attend the rally...keep your eyes on the drug-sniffing dogs.

Drug dogs should be banned. They're too unreliable. They don't always catch drugs for real and can be coaxed into giving a false alert.

Today was the day for the rally at the Capitol. Anyone heard anything? Didn't get a chance to watch the local news this evening and just remembered that today was the day for this rally.

It's been on TV news. After finding out the presentation at the state capitol for CBD medical marijuana would be broadcast online, I decided just to stay home and watch it that way. It was interesting, but apparently very few legislators were there.

Probably the only hope is to bypass the legislators and think about how practical it would be to do a petition to get legalization of marijuana, like now in Colorado, on the ballot for November 2014. If I'm right, at least 125,000 signatures would be required with 3 months to get them. Don't know if there is enough strong sentiment out there to do that or the funding, but too early for now to say never for this Nov. Interesting that the failed petition to get storm shelters in schools was able to get as many signatures as it did, since it didn't seem well publicized.

However, there seems to be a poll that is about to come out showing Oklahomans strongly against legalization and will be in sharp contrast to a Sooner poll last year that indicated the opposite. http://newsok.com/oklahomans-overwhe...rticle/3932950

Misinformation is still out there. This ignorant letter writer thinks that you can get re-high when you go work out because marijuana is stored in the bodys fat... SMH...

After training hundreds of drug dogs, ex-narc Barry Cooper knows first hand how unreliable they are. So does legal medical marijuana patient Irvin Rosenfeld who has been through airports with his marijuana with drug dogs ignoring him.

And research has found that most people with schizophrenia smoke cigarettes. So where are the cries to fully ban tobacco?

[Plutonic Panda]

Same thing with alcohol or prescription medication.

Back around 1966 as LSD was becoming popular, ~they~ issued a warning on chromosome damage and future children would be adversely affected; didn't happen. A half century later, they're drumming up hysteria about brain changes from pot.

This is bull$#!t.

When all, or nearly all, studies keep coming up with at worst inconclusive results in trying to determine the nature of what serious harm marijuana causes to the human body, you gotta keep resorting to hysteria. The media is, such as Fox News, is doing a good job at promoting it.

[Bunty]

My guess as to one major reason why almost all Oklahoma legislators are not showing any interest in legalizing marijuana in any way is they are not getting any real nice sized campaign donations coming with the impression they better show some positive interest in the issue, if they want another campaign donation.

I'm totally opposed to allowing cannabis to be recreational.

However, if it's legalized I won't have a problem with it. I only hope
there is a way to nail those who toke and drive.

How come? Because there is no doubt in your mind, whatsoever, that society is much safer off when marijuana is banned so sales of it can be kept underground, out of sight, out of mind and under the control of criminals? Perish the thought of it being legalized with marijuana leaf logos and sale prices appearing every day on store windows reminding everybody it's there for sale. Come and get it!

Come on man, I thought you all for freedom? I do NOT believe in doing pot and also believe it does cause long term damage, but if people want to be morons, let them. I believe in freedom and that is the freedom to put in your body what YOU please. If it were up to me, pretty much every drug would be legalized and regulated, but that might be best saved for another day.

Part of the package of legalization laws after the approval of Amendment 64 was a blood test for THC level for driving under the influence.
