35 States either have some type of Progressive Marijuana Policy by legalizing medical/recreational marijuana or decriminalization. Unfortunately Kansas has fallen behind and failed to bring the subject to vote even though there is overwhelming support from Kansans. Counties have started making their own decisions on how to treat/prosecute marijuana offenses. Unfortunately all the progress with the perception of marijuana has improved but you still have District Attorneys such as Steve Howie of Johnson County using the full extent of the law to prosecute every marijuana case that crosses his desk. Where neighboring County Douglas County does not pursue minor marijuana violations with the full extent of the law using a open mind approach. The Corona Virus has expedited the already bad Mental Health crisis that is spiraling out of control across the United States. Its hard to get mental health appointments currently as the wait list is very long so many to cope use Marijuana for Medical purposes. Mental Health Patients, Cancer Patients, Pain Management Patients to men such as Johnson County District Attorney label us as "Criminals" and uses the full extent of the law to prosecute you. Plus the Corona Virus has depleted state revenue income so putting these steps in place for a full legalization in the future would bring millions of dollars and jobs to Kansas raising your tax revenue generated for the State! I'm asking Laura Kelly as well as the Johnson County Kansas District Attorney Steve Howie to stop prosecuting marijuana charges that are not DUI/OUI, drug dealing related. Small fines and drug rehabilitation options are a more proactive answer than incarceration and a ruined criminal record, Thank You For Your Time!!
