The day before the election to decide Proposition 1, groups and individuals
are taking sides on the marijuana measure.
ACT Missouri, the Jefferson City-based group that has been organizing
opposition to the proposition sent out a news release Friday indicating
that the Missouri Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics came out
against the measure.
According to a letter from the Academy, passing the legislation would send
a "negative message to the children of our state" about a "scientifically
proven addictive and harmful substance."
On the other side of the issue, Sen. Ken Jacob, D-Columbia, Warren Welliver
- - a former Missouri Supreme Court judge - and Welliveris daughter, Christy
Welliver, have endorsed Proposition 1, according to a news release from the
Columbia group supporting the proposition.
Christy Welliver has multiple sclerosis.
Her father served on the stateis highest court from 1979 to 1989.
Jacob was elected to the Missouri Senate in 1996 and previously served on
the Columbia Board of Education.
