Legislation
Points to consider & include in remarks to the legislators:
The landscape of our state will change dramatically. In Bartlesville, Oklahoma a town of 37,000, there are 15 dispensaries. In front there is a small sign, like a political sign that says, “Get your Medical Marijuana Card here: $25.00
On June 9, 2022, the FDA approved several pharmaceuticals containing Marijuana here in Kansas.
There are several prescrip:on drugs available that a physician can give to their patents.
Medical Marijuana is an open door for recreational.
The growers can’t guarantee that one crop can be duplicated.
When someone goes in to get something for pain, anxiety, nausea, the results can be altered considerably.
When California legalized Medical Marijuana, traffic deaths increased 42% the first year when tested they found illegal drugs and marijuana were the reason.
In Colorado and California now 1 in 4 traffic deaths are attributed to Marijuana.
Workplace issues occur when employees show up to work intoxicated and unable to perform their tasks
Sheriffs, Police and FBI have testified against this as dangerous
We don’t want tax revenue for Kansas from people who are smoking who are sick or getting high on marijuana.
Danger of growers coming in from out of state and threatening Kansans.
The very stench of this product is offensive and is pervasive as the users take over parks with young people, homeless and others smoking and taking marijuana.
That is why we say it changes the landscape of a state and Kansas needs to stand as a Beacon to the rest of the nation. Coming from the heart of the nation pumping throughout all the states. A beam of righteousness.
