The Billings Gazette, 28 Aug 2012 – Montana politicians are misleading the public, including the citizens of North Dakota. On Aug. 19, the Dickinson Press published a report about the Montana medical marijuana program as it relates to the upcoming ballot issue in North Dakota, quoting Montana State Sen. Donald Steinbeisser, R-Sidney, as saying, "The problem we had in Montana, before the last session, over half of the people that were using medical marijuana cards were 20- to 30-year-olds," he said. "You know doggone well there’s something wrong with that." According to the Montana Department of Health and Human Services as of April 2011, when cardholders were at the peak, only 25 percent of people registered as cardholders were from the age range 21 to 30 years old. Compare this to the age range of 51 to 60 with 22 percent being cardholders. You will find that the abuses are not as widespread as Montana politicians would lead you to believe.
