Family Council doesn't support Freedom of Speech
The Arkansas Family Council Organization doesn't support Freedom of Speech when it comes to Marijuana Issues.
By Mary Lou Berry
Yes it's true. The Family Council disapproves anyone to comment on their blog posts where marijuana is concerned, and are staunch advocates for the continued prohibition of a GOD given plant. They wouldn't want any of their followers to truly see the light concerning this amazing plant that the Creator has blessed man with and will fight to keep this plant from being regulated and controlled by the people and for the people. Jerry Cox the organizations founder and president had made several blog posts on the Family Council website and Facebook page in regards to Marijuana asking questions of its readers. However if you respond to these posts something contrary to their beliefs you will get banned from posting and they will delete your posting. Now is that how a true conservative Christians should behave? I know because I was blocked for just saying that the founding fathers used cannabis as a medicine. And Archeologist have found the residue of the plant in vessels in Israel dating back to the time of Christ and earlier. The plant was used by man for thousands of years. The council who sow seeds of propaganda and false information to its readers does not want anyone offering their opinions if it is contrary to their beliefs... why is that?
The members and founder of this Organization fail to understand that legalization and regulation will undoubtedly help our Families ... As studies have shown that teens have less access to tobacco and alcohol products not because they are illegal but because these items are legal and regulated, restricting sells to minors. And although Colorado has failed in regards to destroying the black market for Marijuana totally they have seen a decrease in teen use and that due to decreasing the number of black markets available that will sell to anybody regardless of their age. So we as Arkansans need to stand up and take notice and destroy the black market once and for all... by allowing any and all adult users to grow their own freely as long as they have a license and are registered. That will destroy the black market and that is our number one goal. Users will be responsible that their grows are kept out of reach of children if it means their license is put in jeopardy. Of course this won't prevent children from sometimes getting a hold of somebodies stash but it has to be far greater than the situation we now have with Children being recruited to sell it and buy it on the street. Why do prohibitionist not see and understand this?
