Your Vote May Make A Difference

Your vote can leave things the way they are or make an impact on many people's lives by opening more business opportunities in the cannabis industry, which in turn would provide more employment.
Give people another natural option to heal, without the fear of judgment, and backlash.

But cannabis is a drug so why should I even consider a YES vote?

Do you use medicines like ibuprofen, panadol, what if you couldn't have a choice to use these drugs for medical uses at your own desecration without a medical certificate?

Cannabis is a natural plant, like any medicine people may have side effects or intake differently, you may not agree with smoking, but we all have a right on how we take our medication, it can also be taken in eatables.

There are so many benefits to cannabis, I know more about the strain hemp, so I'm going to ask the #blurt420 #cannabis community over the next six days if you could please post information about the benefits of cannabis, healing properties.

Can Cannabis make an impact your life?

Thank you for stopping by really appreciate it, have a fabulous Day/Evening
