Who will say, “I just want to smoke it”?

34. that IS interesting

I wonder what the political percentage is, for liberals, when conservatives speak in favor of an issue... when does it become "safe" to move forward on an issue because the issue is bipartisan?

Arkansas has an initiative on their ballot, too.

There are now 17 states (plus Washington, D.C.) with medical marijuana laws, but none in the American South. That could all change this November. When Arkansas voters head to the polls to vote for president, they’ll also be asked whether the state should become the 18th to allow seriously ill patients to use marijuana to treat their symptoms.

With support from MPP, activists with Arkansans for Compassionate Care were able to collect over 100,000 signatures, more than enough to qualify the initiative for the ballot. Medical marijuana foes sued to try to block the initiative in court, but the Arkansas Supreme Court rejected the challenge in September, clearing the way for the question to be put to voters.

It will be a good thing when the first state in the south changes their law - that's the only region in the nation that hasn't initiated mmj law in at least one state.
