Lawmakers Grapple with Booming Medical Marijuana Business -- Politics Daily


Aye Yo! Mayor Daley, Governor Quinn, you constantly cry broke, yet I see you two can't get together and do a little research into this industry. What gives?

You guys prefer sacrificing teachers, law enforcement, medical, and social personnel, rather your own overpaid department heads and staff. You guys prefer raising taxes on property, and individuals, rather than go after profit bloated utilities like the wretched Com Ed, Nicor, People's Gas, and all the other off-shoots from these entities. And please don't get me started on Cable, Satellite, and Telecommunications.

We all have heard the flimsy excuses of "Gateway Drug", yet to this very day, no person has come up with any evidence proving such. Those of us that know the history for its banning, can trace it back to those "Scare Tactics", and political payoffs by the Newspaper Magnet William Randolph Hearst, with that "Reefer Madness" propaganda flick. Boy, that crap was indeed a piece of work. We sure were pretty dumb back then.

So again I ask, what gives? Do you two not understand that opening up Marijuana Medical Dispensaries will help the city and state generate revenue? Hell, the both of you could even push for out-right legalization and gain additional revenue generating potential. Are both of you that out of touch with modernization, and changing times? Go ahead, launch an "Exploratory Committee". Hell, I'll be glad becoming the first, serving on it. You can't claim I'm biased, because I don't smoke marijuana. Yet, I do know what a bonus this will become for your coffers, so you two can continue placating your department heads, and staff. And you know what? It will save those jobs of the people that actually do real work.

What gives?
