Civi



l disobedience is the willingness to accept the consequences of a law that violates our civil liberties. We have citizens in medical need hiding instead of accepting the consequences. If you want to reduce crime legalize cannabis. You'll reduce crime by over 13% overnight.


"How common is marijuana use in Idaho? In the past year, the rate of marijuana use for individuals aged 12+ in Idaho was 15.9%. Marijuana use can negatively affecthealth and well-being." ¹


Cannabis Possession and Sales Convictions in Idaho:

Sales 335 450 440 228 195

"About 21% of Idahoans have a criminal conviction. Idaho also has a significant number of people in its probation and parole systems:

Probation: 35,516 people

Parole: 5,122 people" ³


"Unfortunately, Idaho does not have a true Expungement Statute." ⁴


These statements of fact are issues I am willing to discuss after the general election on November, 5th.
