Prop 203 The legalization of medical marijuana
|  The TRUTH about Prop 203
(the so-called
"medical" marijuana initiative)
Who WE are: Law Enforcement, Community, Business, and Political Leaders who CARE about Arizona!
Sheriff Joe Arpaio, Sheriff of Maricopa County
Michael Bidwill, President of the Arizona Cardinals
Jerry Colangelo, Chairman of USA Basketball
Senator Jon Kyl
Senator John McCain
And many, many other ARIZONANS who care about this STATE!
Who THEY are: The
Marijuana Policy Project ("MPP"), a national pro-drug lobby with the stated
mission of
legalizing marijuana across the country. MPP spends millions of dollars nationally on
advertising campaigns
to persuade voters to
believe "medical" marijuana initiatives will make small amounts of marijuana
available
only for people with
serious illnesses. ALL FALSE!
Up to 98% of people getting "medical" marijuana will have no serious
illness!
Prop 203 specifically allows a marijuana
recommendation for "severe and chronic pain," which is a huge loophole being
abused in other states. As few as 2% of
those getting "medical" marijuana in other states have cancer, AIDS or glaucoma
- the conditions these laws are supposedly for. The other 98% have mild
complaints like tension headaches, sprained ankles and other common
ailments, or even no ailments at all!
The
very large amounts of marijuana that will be available suggest DRUG
TRAFFICKING, not medicine!
Prop 203 allows liberal amounts of marijuana to
be purchased from a dispensary (200 or so joints every two weeks) or grown at
home (12 plants, which can produce up to 36 pounds per year)! One person could not possibly consume the
huge amounts of marijuana allowed to him, making the initiative look more like drug trafficking than medicine. Recorded purchases are only part of the
story! A marijuana user is not
prohibited from buying from other sources!
Marijuana users will make life more dangerous for the rest of
Arizonans!
Marijuana users will be exempt from existing laws in the
workplace, in renting homes or apartments, and in driving an automobile. Marijuana users can't be charged with DUI for
smoking marijuana before driving, fired from their job for smoking marijuana
before work, or evicted from a rented home for growing or smoking
marijuana. Marijuana users will enjoy
special protections above those provided to the rest of Arizonans and will
jeopardize the safety, prosperity and well being of children, co-workers,
employers, landlords, and the general public.
Prop 203 will bring increased crime, teenage drug use, and car wrecks
to Arizona!
Marijuana users can grow marijuana in homes,
creating "indoor grow houses"
that blight neighborhoods, bring down property values and dramatically increase
drug trafficking and other criminal activity. In other states, marijuana
dispensaries and indoor grow houses bring increased crime to neighborhoods, yet Prop 203 allows criminals, even convicted felons, to own and operate dispensaries
and grow their own! Even if there is no
dispensary in your neighborhood, dispensaries can deliver! "Medical" marijuana
states have higher rates of teenage drug
use and far more fatal car wrecks
caused by marijuana-smoking drivers.
DON'T BELIEVE THE PROPAGANDA!
Prop 203 is NOT what MPP wants Arizonans to think
it is! It is a back-door route to
legalization that
protects drugs users at the expense of the
rest of Arizonans.
Keep AZ Drug Free
A
ballot opposition committee registered with the Secretary of State to defeat
Prop 203
