If we legalize marijuana in Arizona people who have been screwed by the government shouldn't have to ask for permission to have their records cleared of marijuana convictions.

Their records should be cleared AUTOMATICALLY of ALL marijuana charges.

When you give a government tyrants the option to do they right thing they are usually NOT going to do it.

Under Prop 203 we let Will Humble add new illnesses to the list of things that medical marijuana can be prescribed or recommended for.

And Will Humble has refused to act in good faith under the law and add new illnesses to the list.

In fact Will Humble has created a Catch 22 that allows him to refuse to add any illnesses to the list.

Will Humble says he can't add any new illness to the list unless their is medical research proving that marijuana is effective in treating the illness.

And the Catch 22 in that is for all practical purposes the DEA forbids any medical research that might prove marijuana is effective in treating an illness.

Which means no illnesses will every meet Will Humble's criteria for adding them to the list.

I about fainted when the Arizona Republic ran an article that said Will Humble approved PSTD as an illness that can be treated by medical marijuana.

But when I read an article in the July 2014 medical marijuana newsletter published by the Arizona Department of Health Services it said that Will Humble was more or less FORCED by a judge to approve PSTD for treatment by medical marijuana.

Bottom line is if you give the government the option of pardoning people for marijuana convictions they probably won't do it. Just like Will Humble has refused to add any new illnesses to the list treatable by medical marijuana.

If you want people to be pardoned for marijuana convictions and their records cleared for marijuana arrests you have to ORDER them to do it. Not ask them to do it.
