Montana has had medicinal marijuana for years and with great success. One of the issues this year some groups that are trying to achieve is to legalize the recreational use of marijuana in Montana like in such states as Oregon, Washington, Alaska and Colorado.  There has been positive impact, especially in Colorado with the taxes from the drug going to public schools.

Then there are some people who believe that people are abusing this right, such as Billings businessman Steve Zabawa, who thinks that medicinal marijuana has led children to access the drug, more car accidents and other ailments. The only problem I have with his argument is that many doctors have advocated the use of medicinal marijuana due to the fact it's not addicting like pain killers, which have led people into depression, addiction and even death.

I see where he is coming from, but it will be interesting to see if he can get the signatures needed to get his proposal on the November ballot. If you would like to know more about this check out the article from the Bozeman Daily Chronicle.
