No on Prop 203
Arizona’s Youth are speaking out against Prop 203. This intentionally vague and misleading proposition is full of loopholes aimed to protect those that abuse the system and protections for shady marijuana dispensaries. These youth know how detrimental Prop 203 will be to Arizona and their futures. To find out more about why Prop 203 is Half Baked, check out www.facebook.com
@rossn720 You are 100% Wrong about felons using marijuana. Prop 203 DOES allow them to use it….but thanks for pointing out more misleading statements from prop 203. It says no “excluded felons” may operate a dispensary….do you know what that means? People with felonies like fraud and embezzlement will still be able open up and operate dispensaries. 203 requires no tax payer dollars yet this WILL NOT BE TAXED…what does this lead to? Insufficient oversight. Please read the ENTIRE prop.
This video is completely misleading when they are claiming that the prop is the one misguiding voters. I read the entire prop, and it is clearly stated in words that NO FELON would be aproved to use medical marijuana. And enacting the prop would decrease reliance on marijuana smuggled from mexico. The act is self sustaining, REQUIRING NO TAX PAYERS DOLLAR, and instead creates state revenues.
LOVED THIS VIDEO!!!!
Just because these other states have the loophole, does not mean its not a loophole. It means groups like MPP who want everyone to be able to smoke pot freely found a way to make people feel sympathetic for patients even though in the states where this has passed as little as 2% of the med marijuana users are the seriously ill.
It is irresponsible to allow something to be referred to as medication without knowing the truly what it should & shouldn’t be used for, what meds it interacts with, etc
@NancyTeeaa Pain is nothing to scoff at….however, allowing anyone for any reason to get marijuana is. Headaches…hangnails….really, its about people getting high. Especially hen you dont have to have really any type of past relationship with you doctor. Just go to some Pot Doc and get a recommendation. Shady docs are protected under 203 too. It enables them to recommend all day long and there WILL be docs only recommending pot. If a doc prescribed only vicodin, they’d loose their license.
@youthbaked: “Loophole #2” is not a loophole. If you think chronic pain is something to scoff at, then you’ve never known a neuropathy patient. Real pain is obviously something you do not have to deal with on a daily basis– me neither, but that doesn’t mean I lack empathy for these people. #3 is justifiable also. We are doing what 14 other states have: utilized our rights as a federalist nation to make change ourselves, by the will of the people, before the change comes federally.
@nancyteeaa haha you’re so cute. 10 yr olds? try 16, 16 and 17! I’m sure you looked up all the positives from heathers story and you are a druggie or just a marijuana user who wants to be safe from going to jail where you belong. Look you can blindly say prop 203 has “no loopholes” when all you do is read the short title. 103 words vs 34 pages of prop 203 hmmm. Ha nancy get to reading the prop then we’ll talk. If you are “mature” enough to handle that. -Anesia ha and i’m 17 yrs old 😛
@youthbaked Loophole #2 Prop 203 allows for people with chronic pain to get recomendation which has led to people getting recomendtions based on hangnails, headaches, and pain from chronic wear of high heals.
Loophole #3 THE ENTIRE PROP is a loophole. What do you call having doctors “recommend” marijuana because a prescription would be illegal?
The list of loopholes goes on and on…..
@NancyTeeaa These young people are in high school & well able to understand this flawed proposition. If this is not a stepping stone toward complete legalization, then why are the main people backing this proposition also backing Prop 19 in California?
Loophole #1 Prop 203 states that you cant operate a vehicle under the influence of marijuana but then goes on to state that you cannot be prosecuted for having Marijuana in your system while operating a vehicle if you have a marijuana card.
@youthbaked: 10-year-olds have read Proposition 203 and understand the logistics of it? I don’t buy it. Moreso, there are no “protections for abusers”– it’s protection for patients. Have you read it? There is absolutely nothing in the wording that makes it any easier to legalize marijuana. This only protects patients. You’ve obviously never known anyone who has benefited from the medication, but that’s no reason attack this narrow, specific bill saying it has “loopholes” when it doesn’t.
@NancyTeeaa It is kind of sad that you think young people are unable to realize how misleading Prop 203 is. None of these young people were encouraged to Speak out by their parents. They are actually more educated on Prop 203 than most adults. They know the loopholes, they know the protections for abusers, they know that Prop 203 is using patients as a stepping stone toward the ultimate goal of complete legalization. They may be young, but they know exactly what Prop 203 is…….Half Baked
