MARIJUANA'S OUTSIDE INFLUENCE: CARPETBAGGERS FROM D.C.

Proposition 203, the initiative to legalize medical marijuana in
Arizona, is not a home-grown initiative.

Prop. 203 is a document written and composed by an organization in
Washington, D.C., called, the Marijuana Policy Project, (MPP). This
group of activists claims to be interested in legalizing marijuana for
medical use in Arizona. The health of Arizona residents is not their
concern. Their only agenda, as quoted from their vision statement, is
to legalize marijuana nationwide.

Prop 203 covers a lot of different scenarios involving pot use and is
worded to nullify any consequences for positive test results of pot
metabolites in a person's blood. Section 36-2802, letter D, states
that "qualified patients" operating a motor vehicle, aircraft or
motorboat, that test positive for pot in their system, can be exempt
from a DUI charge.

Question: As an employer, could I fire my employee for testing positive
for pot? How do I keep a drug free work place? Am I violating an
employee's rights if medical marijuana becomes legal? These scenarios
will happen. A Wal-Mart store in Michigan is dealing with this issue
right now. They terminated an employee who tested positive for pot. He
claims it's for medical use and they are in court.

Prop. 203 takes away property owner rights. Section 36-2813, letter A,
states that as a landlord, if you refuse to rent to a known medical
marijuana card holder, you can be accused of discrimination.

Another question: If you rent to a card holder, does he have the right
to smoke pot in your rental? If he lives 25 miles away from a
dispensary, does he have the right to grow pot in your rental?

MPP will keep pushing the medical aspect of this issue, to draw
attention away from all the hidden extras this initiative is ladened
with. Proposition 203 is not about medicine. In November, lets tell
these carpetbaggers to stay out of Arizona politics, please, vote "No"
on Proposition 203.
