Marijuana is a natural herb that is prescribed in over 200 countries as treatment of serious ailments. The current law is an archaic law that is rooted in some reprehensible undertones. It is not in anyway a gateway drug. It has so many healing qualities.

If your mask fogs up your glasses, or if you can smell odors through it, then it doesn't work. It should have never existed in the first place.

The pandemic is coming to and end. Also it is illegal to mandate anyone to wear a mask or get a vaccine for that matter, we are not under a dictatorship nor are we in a communist country. Wearing a mask or getting a shot is each person's personal choice and right.

Will Mason

Not "most". End them all.

The Columbia Board of Education voted this month to extend the district's mask mandate and health officials continue to recommend people wear masks indoors.

Even though humans have survived the evolution process for many thousands of years without masks or vaccines, we must NEVER end the mask mandate. As long as the human race inhabits Earth we must all wear masks and get weekly booster shots. Everyone do your part. Surrender control over your life.

Max DeYoung

I admire the people I see alone in a car with their masks on. Without them we would all be goners.

Audrey Shewmaker

This covid-19 is'nt over by a long shot. People are still getting sick vaccinated or not.

Kehynan Brown

Who would of thought

Max DeYoung

Then the vaccination doesn't work. Who would a thunk that?

Wendi Newman

Mask mandates need to stay in place until we have a vaccine for all age groups and everyone who chooses protection actually has it. Then let the spreaders unmask.

Kehynan Brown

Again, natural selection

Becky

Last time we ended the mask mandate too soon and cases went up....give it a little longer.

Kehynan Brown

It's called natural selection
