“At this time, my staff and I are safe and I am in an undisclosed location after evacuating the House floor when protestors made their way inside the Capitol. The outrageous rioting and violence taking place at the Capitol Building is completely unacceptable and not who we are as a nation of law and order. Mob violence is wrong regardless of political affiliation.” --Congressman James Comer

I understand that you don't understand why anyone would want to make cannabis legal. Maybe you or no one in your family has had a chronic pain condition. Whereas me speaking for myself I found that cannabis while not to be the best pain killer, but that it allowed me to deal with my life-long pain situation better than any pain killer prescription.

No matter how many times I may try and explain why cannabis should be legal for medical reasons you probably still wouldn't understand. In conclusion I applaud Governor Andy Brashear on his stance to bring legal cannabis to Kentucky. Thanks --Larry

I have never understood the logic behind wanting to legalize marijuana. Using the fact that legal as the reason it should be legal. So we legalize one mind bending drug because there are other mind bending drugs that are legal??? Great logic.

I absolutely support legalizing both medical and recreational marijuana sales. As a middle-aged woman with chronic pain who relies on prescription medications that can cause both liver damage and bone loss with long-term use, I believe I could get pain relief from CBD oil or marijuana without the potential side-effects.

Washington state collected nearly $350 million in legal marijuana income and license fees in 2019. I would say that is a good reason for KY to legalize medical marijuana, at the very least, as well as offering people an option besides prescription drugs that can cause lasting effects or addiction.

Legalize weed already! This is a no-brainer. Look at what other states such as Colorado are doing. Number one, decriminalize it. Free up valuable space in the jails. Have law enforcement work on more pressing "real" crimes; violent crimes and theft for example. Number two; Allow the regulated and TAXED sale of marijuana for medicinal AND recreational use. This generates revenue for the state obviously, but also takes some of the control of the business side from cartels and street dealers and puts it in the hands of regulated brick and mortar dispensaries which are monitored by the state. It works in about 2 dozen other states and the sky has not fallen.

It's time to abandon the antiquated viewpoint (among others) that marijuana is a horrible drug when it isn't. No one has ever overdosed on weed. That's a fact. To classify weed as a "harmful drug" akin to addictive and overdose inducing drugs such as heroin, cocaine or meth is completely false.

It is well beyond time to legalize marijuana both medicinally and recreationally. Their are far worse things being prescribed by doctors and the health risks compared to alcohol and tobacco are basically non existent, comparably speaking.
