Government is hating the fact that it's addictive yet 1/10 users get addicted and if you get behind the wheel intoxicated you could kill someone well what about pills and alcohol that's way more addictive that marijuana and it's MAN MADE weed grows from the ground how are to to say it should be illegal throw away the pills and substitute for the plant you will still make money from it we need it and people move just because you treat it like meth its a plant .. it's not man made and addictive and a murder weapon like pills or alcohol

The question is why have the government lied for so long and how has it went on as long as it has? Alcohol and tobacco are legal. Well that kills people. Marijuana hasnt killed no one. It's illegal. Taxes keeps going up, lethal chemicals are sold everyday. The government dont want us to know the facts. Alabama is one of the oldest, corrupted, and racist states ive lived in and I hate it. The laws are unjust and only the white male can get ahead but not always now age plays a part. Ya gotta be 100 to be a major or Senate or council member. Stupid state keeps taking my money but it still looks like a dump here. Water taste like crap insurance is to high.uncle Sam is a thief amd I can't smoke a joint? Whos the dummy now?

I think it would be very useful.. I take Marinol (THC). It a soft gell pill with THC in it & it helps me so so much.. I've been diagnosed with Gastroparesis and I have major stomach & digestive issue's and that helps so much BUT Smoking the WEED helps me even more... It helps me with alot of my other problems as well, Thanks to the Good Lord in Heaven he's the one who put it here first......

That would be the best thing that ever happened! Right now I am on a very evil drug for chronic pain. I have osteoporosis and osteoarthritis plus I have fractures in my back and my discs in my back are collapsing. They have a strain for chronic pain. I am a nurse. The only thing that marijuana does and this is with chronic use I'd slow your reaction time and lowers sperm count in men. That's it! And this thing that marijuana leads to other drugs is a crock! I'm 70 years old and I say it should be legalized medically and recreationally.
Shayla Overton - 5 years ago
Yes! Make it legal medically and recreationally. Peoples lives are ruined all because of pot. When all it does is help, I can say from experience, I have migraines, depression, pain, anxiety, and bipolar disorder, and it helped me before I had my kids. Now that I have children I can’t do it, and meds don’t work. I’ve been prescribed all kinds of meds to help and they worked for about 2 weeks maybe and that was it. It helped my mood swings a lot, and I can’t really never seem to get myself to eat! I need this to become legal so that way I can have something that does honestly help! People are in prison and losing their children for failing for nothing but marijuana. While other states are making billions from the sale of Cannabis. Alabama’s roads and everything are awful! We could use that money to fix our roads, help with our schools, colleges. It would just help the state all the way around!

I'm all for legalization.. Both medically and recreationally. I can tell you that I'd rather be around someone that smokes as opposed to someone who drinks. But I really think this poll is irrelevant considering that if The Marijuana Justice Act of 2019 passes.. And it's got a lot of support from both democrats AND Republicans. Statistics show that 60 percent of our entire US voters favor legalization. And it's already hit the Congress floor. All you Naysayers.. Your just gonna have to accept it. That's my piece.
Lance Edwards - 5 years ago
Yes! First you can make all kinds of things with hemp. 2nd the medical benefits from marijuana are outstanding with zero deaths per year so what you get high from using it yes but compared to alcohol or ANY PILL there is no competition when it comes to safety. And lastly you should decriminalize it the jails and prisons are already overcrowded realease people with non violent offenses relating to marijuana.
Amanda - 5 years ago
As someone who has suffered from depression due to childhood traumatic events and constant sciatic pain with no relief (allergic to most pain relievers) I believe this would fully help many, many Alabamians suffering from various illnesses, pain,depression, and many others. It has been proven many times over as on of the best medicines and can be used in various ways to help ease or even dissipate chronic illnesses!
Make it legal and tax it other state's are getting million's in tax from the sale of it and your never going to stop people from using it.Wake up Alabama the people want it and some need it for medical problem's it help's with chronic pain for sure.Make it so you have to be of a legal age it's better than getting drunk.Alcohol wasn't ever stopped because of prohibition and the federal government could not stop it.Cannabis will never be stopped take a look around us and wake up get the tax money's and use it to help with the bridge across Mobile Bay and forget about the tool booth's.

Of course make it legal. When the Rockefellers and Duponts got hemp and Marijuana outlawed because it interfered with their chemicals business they took America for a ride. You cannot patent hemp, or Marijuana for that matter. If we had hemp made plastics and paper which biodegrade, in less than a year, our landfills wouldn't be an issue. Plastics dumped into the watersheds would breakdown alsomt immediatemt. Before the outright hemp ban in America most paper was made with hemp. Now we cut down trees to make it. You want to make a dent in global warming plant more trees, and grow more hemp.
Alabama should start burning petroleum based plastics to generate electricity, like is done in Norway, and rid itself of the pollutant. Medical marijuana is one thing hemp production and manufacturing of more than 10000 products is something completely different. Make Alabama the hemp capital of the USA. We have the weather, the water and a lack of jobs. It all all starts with a decision. Someone needs to make a decision.

Yes yes yes! Help those with chronic pain or uncontrollable seizures with a natural remedy. Not that I really partake, but go ahead and make it recreational as well, unclog our over worked court and prison systems that Kay says we need more money to expand and start claiming tax dollars for our schools and roads. It's a guaranteed multi million if not billion dollar revenue stream. The state wastes millions trying to stop marijuana and doesn't even scratch the surface. I dare say it's easier to get high quality weed than getting the correct order at McDonald's late night drive through.

I think cannabis legalization laws should benifit the cizizens that voted for it, not outside investors, of course I belive in the free market but I really think that the laws should greatly benifit the people that suffered under prohibition in not people from another state that have been thriving under legalization since 1997.
if that means that it takes awhile to get dispensarys going then so be it. If that means finding local people who are allready proficient at growing marrijuanna then great
