This is just meant to be a simple, polite poll to see where the area is leaning towards as far as who they like for Governor. Not looking for any bashing or rude comments. Simply who are you leaning towards with your vote? Hope you have a great day! And if you voted, thank you!

i haven't really looked into who is running on the republican side for governor. Out of the three who is the most moderate? Since that's who it would take to win the state.

I like Heather Mizeur's plans for several things. I like the fact she has no problem (and has shown it) working across the aisle. I like her plan for having a non partisan group redistrict the state so it's fair for everyone. Her plan to end politics as usual in Maryland and return it to the people actually seems realistic under her. Her campaign is public/people financed. Run by grassroots. And she's the first to run a campaign like that in 20 years. There's countless things I agree with her on and am passionate about and that's why I will be voting for Heather. She seems to want to DO the job. Not have the title like the other two democratic candidates.

I forgot to put "Undecided" as an option. If you're undecided and wouldn't mind saying so feel free to comment just that. And if you're undecided but can't decide maybe between two candidates, or are leaning towards one. That would be great to say as well.

Is everybody on board with mizeur's plan to legalize marijuana? I know I am. Personally I have never participated in any marijuana use myself in any form... but I do believe it should be legal and a responsible adults choice. It's much less dangerous than cigarettes and even alcohol. The state spends way too much money charging and incarcerating people who partake in the use of marijuana. That combined with the time law enforcement spends on marijuana instead of actual crimes makes it an expensive and very ineffective use of tax payer money. (Have you ever heard anyone say "Hey all this expensive jailing is lessening the marijuana use of individuals!" No, and support for legalization grows year over year. It's a HUGE waste of money and time. Heather's plan includes pricing and taxing the marijuana at comparable prices to what you would spend "on the street". So that means someone could safely and legally purchase marijuana without the chance of it being laced or getting involved with shady street transactions and people. All of what would STOP happening is enough to convince me to support her plan, then you add on the benefits we gain, such as the $150,000,000+ generated in new taxes for the state. As a non drug user I see the many benefits of her marijuana legalization plan.

Is everybody on board with mizeur's plan to legalize marijuana? Sure, but only if we legalize everything--heroine, cocaine, LSD, prostitution, selling of body parts, etc. If we're going to do it, we've got to do it right to ensure that we're really a modern libertarian state. Also why not unlimited casino gambling? We need more mom and pop gambling shops. It shouldn't only be for the big boys. We could raise a lot more money if we could set up more gambling everywhere. Then when we raise all of this extra revenue, I'm sure that our dedicated public servants will spend it wisely.

My SO says u could use the same argument or heroin, etc. any thoughts? I would like to step in and say...you literally could say the same thing for COUNTLESS things. The point is, you have to have reasonable laws. Common sense shows heroin and cocaine and "hard" drugs are completely unhealthy. Have NO benefits and have been PROVEN dangerous. There's NO evidence (and a ton of evidence showing the opposite) that marijuana is dangerous. There's never been a recorded death associated to marijuana. It's completely natural. It doesn't cause you to have the extreme mind altering effects those other drugs do. It's not addictive like those hard drugs. That argument is completely immature and unreasonable.

I'm glad that you asked for a simple and polite poll and didn't want bashing or rude comments, and then proceeded to tell people who disagreed that their arguments are "completely immature and unreasonable," not to mention lacking in common sense.

I certainly wasn't bashing at all. Didn't mean for it to come across that way in the least. And I apologize if it did. I wasn't aiming it at the poster, just the general thought process of an issue. Again I apologize it it came off that way. It's just I see that way of thinking as unrealistic. Like saying "oh well if we are allowed guns might as well allow everyone to own cannons and missile launchers!" It just doesn't make sense. I'm sorry if I came across as aggressive.
