Yes, from everything I have read and heard there are real medicinal benefits from marijuana. |
I don't see why not, I do not have the perceptions or fears about this that some might. |
That would depend on the legislation. How much in possession, etc. I personally don't believe marijuana used in moderation to be harmful. But, I can't imagine it being for sale at the corner grocery store. |

I support allowing doctors and patients to make decisions on this matter. This should come under the sanctity of the patient-doctor relationship. |
I do support industrial use of hemp and believe Montana farmers should have the choice to cultivate and sell it. |
While I do believe it's ridiculous to be locking up so many people for this offense vs. others, I cannot support legalization at this time as I am concerned about damage done to lives with use of other legal drugs such as alcohol and tobacco. I'm not too interested in legalizing more substances for people to abuse. |

Yes, but need more info on how marijuana is used for life-threatening illnesses |
Yes for hemp, but no for marijuana |
No. Marijuana is a very destructive drug among our young people. It impairs judgement and leads to serious offenses. It serves no useful purpose as a recreational aid. |

NO I don't believe in legalizing marijuana for medical purposes. |
This is the first time I have heard of this concept. I am willing to listen to both sides. I may be agreeable to this. |
NO - I have seen terrible results from the use of marijuana. I believe in stiff penalties to serve as a deterint. [sic] |

In general, I support letting medical personnel make medical decisions. |
We need to expand alternative crop options and I would consider this proposal. |
It is clear we need to revisit the war on drugs and its effect on prison populations. |

No. Society has determined which drugs are or should be illegal throughits criminal and other laws. Doctors are not above the law, nor should their treatment be. |
Don't know. |
no, no |
