Voters in Maine, overwhelmingly decided that patients should have easier access to medical marijuana. Preliminary poll results showed nearly 60 percent of voters approved a ballot initiative that makes Maine only the fifth state to allow dispensaries. Currently, more than 50 percent of Americans live in a state that has some form of recognition of patient rights to cannabis.

  2. #2    "We have more problems in this state with over-the-counter drugs, like with Robitussin, 15-year-old kids are 'robi-tripping' on cough medicine. If you think that's better for you than smoking marijuana then you're wrong,"
    During Prohibition, people drank rubbing alcohol because they couldn't get anything else. It made them go blind. And killed more than a few.
