Summit Daily News, 09 Feb 2012 - As a candidate for district attorney for the Fifth Judicial District, I have heard from many voters who have legitimate concerns about whether the current medical marijuana laws are working. A district attorney is responsible for the enforcement of all laws; however, there is wide latitude in how vigorously they are enforced. The current medical marijuana system has both flaws and benefits. The primary benefit being for prescribed patients experiencing real health quality improvement.

Kids are not selling beer and cigarettes in school, just an illegal drug like marijuana. Drug policies modeled after alcohol prohibition have given rise to a youth-oriented black market. Illegal drug dealers don't ask for identification for age, but they do recruit minors immune to adult sentences. So much for protecting the children.

The Gazette, 06 Feb 2012 - In her letter of Jan. 27, Theresa Null, describes an acquaintance "Sarah", who had a stressful family life, made an apparent escape but then began using medical marijuana (MMJ), which, Null claims, caused "Sarah" to sink into apathy, affecting her responsibilities and relationships. Null lists a whole litany of "Sarah" social ills (and bills) all of which she blames on (MMJ) thus dishing us up one of the most popular logical fallacies: Coincidental is not causal.
