NEWS Legalization is Closer Than We Think, Hopefully

Sounds like it could make it better for businesses who sell cannabis, but not really an upside for us.

It may help us in a roundabout way of making it more acceptable in quote unquote normal life.

True, but it's a damn shame when we have to let the government tell us what is good or bad.

I found it got pretty interesting about the 7:30 mark when they talked about how some states are tied to the federal Drug scheduling.

Of course prosecutors are not going to want to lose their easiest prosecutions. But the current administration promised to at least decriminalise and we on getting to the last year without it being done.

Will Democrats keep their promise to decriminalize marijuana?

Advocates argue the timing has never been better.

I did find this though.

House Democrats File Marijuana Legalization And Expungements Bill

A top House Democrat has reintroduced a bill to federally legalize, tax and regulate marijuana, with provisions to expunge prior cannabis convictions. Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-NY), ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee, refiled the Marijuana Opportunity, Reinvestment and Expungement...

There's too much money in simply talking about it. Kickbacks qnd investment opportunities for our leaders in partnership with corporate interests.

Yep all about .money and who gets their share.

A lot of the free market doesn't want it to be decriminalized, it keeps prices up and in non legal states it keeps dispensaries(competition) away. The big business side wants it legal but tightly controlled. The law enforcement side mostly wants ot 100% illegal.....

The everyday man who doesn't see cannabis in dollar signs and just wants to be able to grow and/or consume some cannabis gets screwed.
