Amendment 2 is about legalizing MEDICAL marijuana. There are a lot of half-truths and untruths being tossed around in the newspaper and in TV ads.

Google medical marijuana in the 20 states where its already legal and see what it really says. No one suggests people should smoke and drive, just like you shouldn't drink and drive. A little common sense, please.

Please check this article: "So far, Colorado's teens are actually using marijuana less," by Betsy Woodruff (Aug. 28). You'll find out that marijuana use among teens has gone DOWN since 2012 since the legalization of marijuana for recreational use. Although a positive note, Amendment 2 is only about medical marijuana.

It would be a shame if this amendment fails to pass based on the untruths we keep hearing about. Please do your own investigating about this and get the real facts before you vote.
