Johnny Green, with TheWeedBlog is promoting the Silver Tour–a way of “educating” senior citizens and mainstream voters about marijuana.
With petition drives to legalize marijuana underway in Arkansas and Florida, Green claims to be negotiating TV schedules for daily broadcasts of “Should Grandma Smoke Pot?”
One thing Arkansans may want to know, as they consider the marijuana proposals many are touting, is whether or not insurance companies will pay for “medical” marijuana.
The Wall Street Journal‘s Market Watch has the answer:
Attorney General Dustin McDaniel recently approved a ballot measure to legalize marijuana in Arkansas—of course just for medical purposes.
It’s hard to believe the sponsors of this measure really imagine the people of Arkansas think the effort is about medicine. Even the name of their group, Arkansans for Responsible Medicine, is an insult to our intelligence. There’s nothing responsible about anything that creates more drug addiction, and there is nothing medical about legalizing marijuana. So if this latest effort is not about responsible medicine, what is it about?
Follow the money. If voters approve this measure, they will be allowing marijuana businessmen to open a chain of marijuana stores across Arkansas.
Marijuana is big business. You can bet that the out-of-state marijuana interests who are poised to finance the campaign to legalize marijuana are expecting to make lots of money selling our citizens this harmful drug.
There’s nothing like having control of a marijuana monopoly to make a drug dealer’s day.
