Medical marijuana an issue in Miner

Hello Southeast Missouri, Hello Miner, Missouri. We’ve got a serious issue here going on and it’s not good. This so-called marijuana thing is just another back that the federal government and the state government are trying to make a dollar because they aren’t smart enough to know how to make a revenue. But they want to go the illegal way basically because of the drugs. Drugs are drugs. I don’t care what you label it. Medical marijuana, it’s all drugs. You’re still going to be out on the street. These clowns are gonna be driving. I’m a councilman in Miner, Mo., and I won’t vote for it. We’ve got enough junk on the street and we’ve got enough stuff. They can’t even drive without using their phones, cigarettes. But they can’t use their signal lights. Ladies and gentleman, I could care less what Sikeston does and you’ll find out what they just done. Here in Miner we care about our people but whatever filters in, we can’t have no control over that. Pay attention. My vote is no. Have a great day and God bless America.

The medical marijuana law was overwhelmingly approved by the voters of Missouri and was not established by the state or federal government. Because the law was passed, cities, including Miner, cannot restrict the sale of medical marijuana. However, the cities can decide how far to keep the dispensaries away from schools, churches and day cares, up to 1,000 feet.
