Thank God for the True Conservatives who know the Feds have no business touching God-given plants that have now been proven to have medical value through multiple peer-reviewed journals.

TRUMP SUPPORTS MEDICAL POT.

If you don't, it's most likely because you are biased due to knowing idiots who used it wrongly, and so are now taking that out on grandmothers who need it for pain relief, etc.

Look at it objectively, and compare the death toll to alcohol and all the idiots who do dumb stuff on that. It's a no-brainer, unless you have no brain.

You were brainwashed if you think pot is more dangerous than alcohol.

That $100 million down the toilet of public schools. Funding isn’t the problem.

Everyone knows that “medical” marijuana is just cover for recreational marijuana. Everyone.

I thought our state lottery was supposed to fund our schools?

I thought our recent hike in gas taxes was supposed to fix our roads?

It's all BS, the monies just go into the general fund and the state wastes it any way they can.......

Of course. My town of 13,000 people in a state that does not allow recreational MJ, has 12 weed stores. I guess most of the citizens are in need of medical care. Such BS. A stoned populace is easy to control.

Oh, great. We can use that windfall to teach students the benefits of being stoned through high school.

And impaired and ignorant is even better.

Funding their diploma mills with pot money is a twofer for Deep State.

Talk about bang for the buck.

Sssshhhh! Shaddup and eat your plate of bugs.

Oh, and take the 27th jab for COVID-1984. It's for your own good, of course.

Bugs - it's what the WEF (World Economic Forum) says every one else can eat for dinner - while THEY, the Globalist Elites, dine on lobster, steak, etc.

Nightshade is a “God given plant”. So is mistletoe. Yet We wouldn’t smoke them.

God made all plants...he also made brains and common sense and expects us to use them. So grandma might need some for pain relief. It doesn’t follow that grandma needing to smoke it means that the all the rest of us should be smoking it. Freedom is one thing, the morality and religion that undergird our liberty, per G. Washington, safe guard our freedoms when we use our liberties responsibly. That doesn’t mean you are necessarily free or have a moral right to get a buzz on in the sight of God. Grandma in terminal pain...maybe!

“Michigan Schools to Receive $100 Million from Legal Marijuana Sales”

...and meanwhile, $100M is removed from the ‘education’ budget and moved to the general fund (or at least could be moved).

Funny how they don’t mention that part.

Schools don’t ever get money. The money all goes to “educators”

Not even that...check out the administrative hierarchy in your school district.
A bloated top tier making 6 figure salaries.
And, how many of them are STILL in the union (or paying dues to stay current)?
