APPROVAL WILL LEAD TO CHAOS

Keep AZ Drug Free

Our roads will be more dangerous. Fatal car wrecks attributable to
marijuana impairment increased dramatically in states that passed
"medical" marijuana laws.

Crime will increase. Dispensaries (which are allowed to deliver) and
indoor grow houses (unlimited in number) are crime magnets and a
blight on neighborhoods and local businesses. Prop. 203 is full of
loopholes for drug users, making chaos inevitable.

Far more teenagers use marijuana in "medical" marijuana states. Teens
who smoke pot are more likely to fail in school and life.

Seriously ill people will be harmed, not helped. You should believe
doctors and experts, not the national pro-drug lobby behind this
initiative. The American Cancer Society, American Glaucoma Society
and National Multiple Sclerosis Society do not recommend patients use
pot because it causes more harm than good and safer alternatives exist.

Drug users will be protected at your expense, so don't be bullied
into believing this is about compassion. Seriously ill people are not
imprisoned simply for using marijuana. In other states, as few as 2
percent of marijuana cardholders have serious illnesses. Marijuana
will be tax-exempt, yet unfunded additional costs for law enforcement
and substance-abuse treatment will be substantial.
