1
00:00:00,169 --> 00:00:01,691
I appreciate you staying late.

2
00:00:02,506 --> 00:00:07,379
I possess in this bag a quarter-ounce of a variety of weed that grows in Kansas.

3
00:00:07,537 --> 00:00:08,992
I'm gonna set it right here.

4
00:00:09,578 --> 00:00:15,223
I would like you to know that I'm currently under the influence of what is in this bag.

5
00:00:16,363 --> 00:00:21,949
I would also like you guys to consider very clearly supporting SB 9.

6
00:00:22,272 --> 00:00:27,681
I earlier wrote a letter to Mitch Holmes, and he sent back an email to me,

7
00:00:27,681 --> 00:00:31,449
which I have forwarded to every one of you, and I hope that you take the time to read it.

8
00:00:31,449 --> 00:00:37,774
He talks about the fact that you cannot make medicine. For the purpose of medicine.

9
00:00:37,774 --> 00:00:40,800
You as legislators don't have that option. And I agree.

10
00:00:41,025 --> 00:00:44,103
What I'm asking you to do is to read SP 0 and understand that

11
00:00:44,103 --> 00:00:49,612
we want you to stop the forfeiture laws, we would like you to stop incarcerating our citizens,

12
00:00:49,612 --> 00:00:52,590
and we would like this drug war thing to be over.

13
00:00:52,590 --> 00:00:54,363
It's not a moral issue.

14
00:00:54,363 --> 00:00:57,413
The moral part of the issue is that we are breaking up families.

15
00:00:57,594 --> 00:01:00,366
Thank you very much for your time this evening, and by the way...

16
00:01:00,366 --> 00:01:03,352
I'll just let you know. These are dandelion greens.

17
00:01:03,352 --> 00:01:06,307
So, sorry! You're not able to write me a ticket.

18
00:01:06,307 --> 00:01:10,262
But, I want you to think for a minute about your reaction when you thought that

19
00:01:10,262 --> 00:01:14,691
I laid a bag of marijuana here, and how you felt inside, and how you judge people for that.

20
00:01:14,691 --> 00:01:16,921
So please, thank you. Take that home.
