Regardless of the open smoking of marijuana, if enforced by the police as per the constitution as any other law is and or should be that is one thing, but for an elected official to even begin to suggest that the MILITARY should have been used to enforce the law is a very scary statement to me. This is the United States of America, not Iran, Russia, North Korea or any of the other countries that release their own military forces on their citizens. It is wrong! that kind of brings to light all the talk and info about the FEMA detention camps. That representative does not belong in OUR legislature, regardless of every citizens opinion on the use of MMJ, all citizens should be protected from the type of thoughts and statements that renfroe suggested.
I agree... but most people, including our Senator, aren't able to make the distinction between a 420 rally and mmj.

The whole "call in the troops" thing should get him fired. Military are not police, and are not trained for that purpose. Suggesting to use a military force against a peaceful protest shouldn't be tolerated.
