WHAT HAPPENED TO OUR VOTING RIGHTS?

I am sure everyone is tired of hearing and reading about the marijuana
debate. And I will be one of the first ones to say we do have a
problem. There needs to be laws and records and maybe some taxes paid.

What everyone fails to see is the big picture. Did you know that the
state of Montana is being watched by the rest of the world? If this
law gets thrown out the other states can over turn there law. If they
can overturn our vote on this law does that mean they can overturn any
law we vote in? Do we really want the government to take away our
rights like this?

Treat this as a medication and stop rubbing it in other peoples faces.
Let's start treating it like medication.
