Governor Larry hogan is terrible on marijuana legalization.

I have friends who could benefit from the legal use of medical marijuana.

I am a Vietnam Veteran suffering with PTSD. I have used marijuana to help me control my emotions. I would like to be able to do this legally without having to move to another state. If marijuana was legalized, medical research could be conducted for the treatment of PTSD and other ailments.

My baby grandaughter, Gabriella Victoria Aurora, was murdered by her father, and because of a new law, is eligible for parole. It doesn't matter what the crime was, but since he has not been in trouble lately he's eligible.... No! I disagree.... He should not be able to be free. My one-year-old grandaughter did not get a life due to this individual... Say no! Help us stop him from getting out!

Not only would decriminalization benefit the people of Tennessee, but the revenue generated by taxes would help the state.

I've watched the data pile up year after year, confirming what many knew 50 years ago, that drug prohibition doesn't stop drug abuse and doesn't prevent addiction; it only criminalizes a behavioral disorder and stigmatizes millions of people who need treatment not jail time. Now that four states have legalized pot and have shown that public safety has not suffered from it, it's time for Texas to accept defeat on the War on Drugs, and follow suit in legalizing marijuana. No state has got it right yet, though, as we need not only to end drug prohibition, we need to dramatically increase drug addiction treatment opportunities for all people.

It's the right thing to do. Because the masses have voted with their collective wallet. Because the constitution says, in effect, that what a man does, so long as it doesn't harm another, isn't the state's business. Because the time is right and the law is wrong. Stand with me on this.

I personally suffer from bipolar disorder and scoliosis. The only relief I have ever experienced was through using marijuana in several different forms.

It's about time that we start acting like grown ups and let the police focus on real criminals. It can also be a great source of income for the state.

As has been seen with places like Colorado, legalizing the sale and use medical and recreational marijuana in Texas would not only bring much needed money into the state's economy (especially in the way of easing financial burden on state-run correctional facilities and giving more financial assistance for schools statewide), but will dramatically reduce the crime rate when it comes to nonviolent drug offenses involving not only local residents, but with Mexican cartels as well.

On March 14, 2016 at 2:30 PM in the afternoon, A'mani Miller, 23 years young, beautiful, intelligent and talented, was on a work shift, delivering construction materials just like he usually did at this time on a weekday afternoon. However, On what seemed to be an ordinary Monday changed our lives forever. His mother, father, family and friends were informed that he had been a victim of a crime. A'mani was beaten, stabbed multiple times, shot multiple times and shot in the head. We believe that he may have made a pit stop on his way to work that day... We're not sure how his lifeless body was found on the 5th floor of 2125 Rockaway Parkway in The Bayview Houses located in Canarsie, Brooklyn, New York (NYC). BAYVIEW IS A GOVERNMENT HOUSING PROJECT. He did not reside there. He lives in the gentrified section of Bedford Stuyvesant in Brooklyn, NY. He had no known contacts there and he did not work there. A'mani had no criminal history and he loved everyone. The Bayview NYCHA housing project is known to be a cesspool of crime. THERE ARE NO CAMERAS and Police presence is slim. Why was this horrible crime allowed to happen on Government property ?! A'mani was loved so dearly by everyone!!! He is deeply missed. Please sign this petition... It is unacceptable that these crimes keep happening on GOVERNMENT PROPERTY. We must take action to stop it. Please pray for the family. Peace and be safe. Thank you and God Bless!

This petition is to cause attention to be brought to the Shelby County judicial system that not only wrongfully charge our black males but also, when there is no case or no evidence, falsely put together evidence so that they can get a conviction. Edgar Smith was charged with first-degree murder July 2014 when a store surveillance tape, which showed that the perpetrator was clearly not him, was lost or mishandled by the prosecutor. Now, weeks before the trial, the prosecutor has an "edited" tape that shows Edgar in the scene and a new witness who can identify him. Edgar is not the only black male in the Shelby County Jail system who has been held for years under false allegations or by the prosecutor mishandling the evidence. We are tired of having our black males taken away from their families for years just to set them free without restitution or getting the public defender to make them feel like it's no matter if you are innocent or not, you need to take this deal because there is no hope.
