Emotions are running high over Initiative 502, the measure to "remove state-law prohibitions against producing, processing, and selling marijuana" for Washington state residents 21+.
Activists from every corner are speaking out in support (or contempt) of the new Initiative. An organization formed called Patients Against I-502 that aims to highlight the damages that I-502 could do to medical marijuana and its patients. "Legalization should not come," they say, "at the expense of those who use cannabis for medicinal purposes."
NORML, a not-for-profit organization created to support the reform of marijuana lies, wrote an official response to Patients Against I-502. In it, they admit that the wording of the initiative may have some flaws, but any beginning is a great beginning. "At NORML, we support these efforts, even when imperfect, because the greater good achieved by legalization proposals outweighs the imperfect language."
According to Opposing Views, a recent poll was conducted that found 47% of respondents in favor of passing I-502. How do you feel about it?
