We oppose the legalization and commercialization of marijuana that has created “Big Marijuana” that includes lobbyists and profiteers who put their financial gain over our health and safety and the lives of our children. Marijuana products can be very high in potency and reach 99% THC. They cause addiction, mental illness, birth defects, suicide, violence, DUIs and many health problems. Unless approved by the federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA), all recreational and “medical” marijuana products are sold in violation of federal law and they have not been proven to be safe and effective. We seek to educate the public on the dangers of marijuana legalization.

The term “legalization” can have either of the following meanings:

1. Legalization/commercialization - The production and distribution of marijuana would be government regulated with limits on amounts that can be purchased and the age of purchasers. There may be no criminal or civil sanction for possessing, manufacturing, or distributing marijuana unless these actions violated the regulatory system. 
2. Decriminalization - Decriminalization eliminates criminal sanctions for marijuana use and may provide civil sanctions for possession of marijuana.
