Not so long ago, medical marijuana legalization was a sizzling topic in our state.
Although many other states were already involved with the legal medical cannabis trade, this conservative state had not yet embraced the sentiment that medical cannabis is not the same as using recreational marijuana.
Eventually, after a number of years of being a topic around the legislative halls, medical marijuana was not only legalized, but it was also written into the state constitution as a solid right to this state’s citizens… Legislators, though, who likely were envisioning the smoke-filled back rooms of their youth, insisted that smoking medical marijuana would not be permitted in the least. They only approved other methods of ingestion. In talks with a famous plus wealthy lawyer began a lawsuit against the state. The lawyer plus his medical expert who decided to hop on board his medical cannabis bandwagon insisted that inhalation is an entirely effective way to ingest medical marijuana. Therefore, the legislature easily overstepped its bounds plus started making medical moves when they said that smoking medical cannabis would still be illegal. The legislature then made the choice that they had one thing only to say about smoking the cannabis products. They insisted that it would not be allowed in public, sort of like smoking cigarettes. It seems pretty much like a harmless thing to say, but they can be so foolish, in my humble opinion. Of course that allowed the lawyer to rightly argue a valid point that had not been brought up. If something is illegal in public, that pretty much means it is legal in private. Public intoxication is a crime, but you can get drunk as much as you prefer at home, see his point? Of course, he won, plus now people in this state are permitted to use medical pot grown by both majority plus minority growers. They are able to go to medical marijuana stores, plus can smoke their lungs out if they have the desire.
