Republicans who do not honor the will of voters compromise America's democratic founding principals. Another way to fix problems associated with Montana's medical cannabis law is to completely re-legalize and regulate the relatively safe, extremely popular God-given plant. And Republicans should support legalizing the plant since it represents the Republican values of smaller government, less spending, state's rights etc. Legalizing cannabis should even please fundamental Christian Republicans since God indicates He created all the seed-bearing plants saying they're all good on literally the very 1st page of the Bible.
