Springfield Missouri City Council repealed a marijuana decriminalization ordinance!

Monday night (September 24, 2012), the Springfield Missouri City Council repealed a marijuana decriminalization ordinance that the City Council passed the measure themselves, only to be able to repeal the ordinance so it could not go to the ballot and deny voters the chance of voting for it!

Here is the list of the douchbag Springfield City Council members and their contact info who circumvented the political process to make sure marijuana decriminalization would not happen!

I spoke to Missouri State Senator Pearce earlier this summer and asked him why he did not support MMJ in our state. His answer was well thought out and hard to dispute. He said as soon as the American Cancer Society recognized MMJ as a viable treatment for ANYTHING, he would support it. Until then, he had to answer to his constituents.

I truly believe that to turn this situation around, those in our community who are able to do the work that will eventually get the ACS to work in this direction, need to keep doing what we can to heal those around us as best we can. Eventually, the word will get out... those using our meds are getting relief.

Honestly, I would have thought that MO would have jumped on the band wagon a LONG time ago - Problem for springfield is just politics, the voters think it means a buncha teens will be running wild in the streets high and passing out in parked cars.

These people should take a good long look at north carolina, to see how things get done right (albeit slow).

speaking of which, who wants to finance my grow op in NC? :D
