Free pot in exchange for registering to vote?
Edited on Thu Jul-28-11 07:40 PM by liberal N proud
A medical marijuana shop's offer of free pot in exchange for registering to vote appears to have gone up in smoke.

Your Healthy Choice Clinic of Lansing, Mich., had been offering a half gram on its website ahead of a vote for city council seats and after the council approved capping the number of medical marijuana dispensaries within city limits and setting a $1,000 application fee.

Clinic owner Shekina Pena earlier said she wasn't trying to buy votes.

"We really got to fight to get the voters out there because the polls are showing there's 4-5,000 people in Lansing that are patients or caregivers," she told NBC affiliate WILX TV. "So we need those 4-5,000 people to come forth to the polls and vote for whomever they feel is in support of what they want for access."

2. I'm fully supportive of MM but I do not think this is 'helpful' to the cause. Local Michigan
news are doing reports on this and not necessarily in a kind light.

I'm not going to be surprised if Michigan reverses it's MM law. It is reported by my 36 year old neighbor who has a MM card, that when he visits his local store front supplier, he is the youngest one in the whole crowd.

Indeed, campaign commercials of these early twenty year old 'shoppers' leaving these clinics should be enough to convince the voting public that this isn't what they voted for in legalizing MM.

Just saying...
