Over on the Drug Czar’s “blog” is this dramatic statement:
On Tuesday, July 19th, attempts to legalize medical marijuana failed for the second time in Iowa City, IA. The City Council ruled against the legalization of marijuana for medical use initiative to be put on the November 8th ballot. Iowa City is the latest of many cities that have taken a stance against medical marijuana and deemed it unsafe as medication. [emphasis added]
Um, no.
On Tuesday night, the Iowa City City Council ruled there weren’t enough legitimate signatures to allow an initiative onto the November 8th ballot.
I read the entire article, but didn’t see anyone from Iowa City say:
“Yeah, we re-counted and you’re short a few signatures, so I guess that means that medical marijuana is unsafe…”
