Even though many of the young people wanted to see marijuana legalized, the real reason that cannabis was legalized in this state is due to the amount of senior citizens that are in the area. University potheads do not work well together and many of them did not show up on voting day to make their voices heard. Although they were canvassing the areas and raising a big fuss about marijuana, they did not show up in numbers to vote. We did not pass medical marijuana the first time and the second time we were much happier to have someone that was going to be able to help us. When the senior citizens got out to vote, they were responsible for entirely making marijuana legal for everyone of us. The people I was with in addition to myself are thankful for the long-haired hippies from the 70s that showed up to vote as well as make marijuana legalized. The people I was with in addition to myself appreciate all of the ways that they worked hard to swing things in the opposite direction. Now the people I was with in addition to myself have a medical marijuana card that was issued directly from the state and all of us can go to the local dispensary in order to pick up the items that we want and need. Cannabis would have never been legalized if not for senior citizens and now I am glad that they go to vote and were legalizing recreational marijuana when no one else wanted to.
