| Message | Thanks for the feedback on this bill, I hope it was proposed correctly. If Article 1 needs to be dropped thats fine, we here at the Highazhell Party still feel it will be a step in the right direction. However we also don't believe anyone should be able to impose on our right to consume Marijuana in private. |

| Message | As we have stated before, we feel this is an issue that should be left to the local governments to decide and not the national government itself. |
