What is The Oregon Cannabis Tax Act? Measure 80 would allow personal marijuana, hemp cultivation/use without license; and commission to regulate commercial marijuana cultivation/sale.
If you visit any of the numerous pro-marijuana websites you will read and hear all the cooing and cawing about how wonderful pot is, and how fabulous it is, and that the only problem with marijuana is non-users.
Well, my thought on Measure 80 is NO, NO, NO. No support here at Faith Hope And Politics. The reason why is.... we don't allow people to purchase oxycontin, ritalin, prozac, adderall, better yet meth right out of someones trunk legally. Because drugs are drugs and medicine is medicine. This measure is absolutely ridiculous, it allows any moron to buy or grow a drug that they even pro-potters promote as a medicine. Medicines should be quality controlled, and they should be monitored. Allowing personal use of growing marijuana can't be regulated.Therefore the quality would differ. This would is like buying bathtub moonshine, some would be safe, and some would not.Then there is the issue of children, Oregon has already brainwashed children into believing that marijuana is medicine for horrible diseases, and that it is the only medicine that works. Now Oregon children will have it grown in their homes. Mom and Dad will be stoned out 24/7, and they can't do anything about it. Children will suffer if this passes.The wording also says it bans public consumption except where signs permit, like the good old with smoking and non-smoking sections. What about in children's homes, there is no licence or card needed. The wording on this whole measure is so vague. It would only allow for big business to be regulated and quality controlled. All other home-growers will get a free pass, no licence, no pot-card needed. We all know that there will be morons who will break the rules, and this will law will make it harder for the great policemen and women to fight. Not to mention the poor Attorney General who will have to defend this measure at our state's cost. So, I urge you to vote No on measure 80. This measure is wrong, wrong, wrong.
