I-75, supported by the League of Women Voters, establishes more sensible law enforcement priorities for Seattle. A YES vote will make resources available to protect our homes, streets and neighborhoods.
By making marijuana intended for adult personal use the lowest law enforcement priority in Seattle, I-75 saves scarce public resources. I-75 frees our police and prosecutors - who are already over-worked and deserve our strong support - to concentrate on protecting us against serious and violent crime.
I-75 also protects the rights of medical marijuana users. In 1998, Seattle voters overwhelmingly approved a measure to protect people whose physicians recommend medicinal marijuana to treat certain serious illnesses. Yet, medical marijuana patients are still in danger of arrest, prosecution and forfeiture of their homes and other property - even though they use marijuana to treat symptoms of cancer, multiple sclerosis and AIDS. I-75 helps protect all medical marijuana patients who suffer from life threatening illnesses.
As you decide on I-75, please ask yourself:
- Shouldn't our police be allowed to focus on protecting us against serious and violent crime? And shouldn't our limited and expensive jail space be reserved for real criminals who commit serious or violent crimes? If you agree, vote YES on I-75.
- Shouldn't we protect vulnerable and seriously ill medical marijuana patients from the harm of arrest, prosecution and seizure of their homes and property? If you agree, vote YES on I-75.
- Shouldn't we use our scarce tax dollars for more important public needs than going after adults who possess only for their personal use? If you agree, vote YES on I-75.
Please join us, Seattle's medical marijuana patients, the League of Women Voters, the American Civil Liberties Union of Washington, prominent members of the Seattle Bar, and many others, in voting YES on I-75.
