Politics isn't always red or blue. Lately, it has been green.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., plans to introduce legislation on Friday to decriminalize marijuana on the federal level, adding a high-profile advocate in the effort to decriminalize, legalize and normalize marijuana use in America.
Schumer's legislation would remove marijuana from the list of scheduled substances under a 1970 law that classifies marijuana as dangerous as heroin for legal and regulatory purposes. It would establish funding for women- and minority-owned marijuana businesses, require more research on the drug's public health impact, and maintain federal authority to regulate commercial advertising, similar to existing regulations for tobacco and alcohol.

Intro all you want Chuckie. Never pass. And if it does will be vetoed by President Trump.
Yep, this is a priority to rats. Screw the economy, jobs, illegal invasion, let’s smoke weed.
President Trump beat him to the punch =>
“Trump tells senator there will be no marijuana crackdown”
Trump also said he will support legislation to allow state autonomy under federal law, which currently makes pot possession for any reason outside limited research a crime.

“Intro all you want Chuckie. Never pass. And if it does will be vetoed by President Trump.”
You must not have heard the news. See post #4.
He’s just trying to buy votes.
Doubt that he’ll get much ROI, though.
just looking for something else to tax.
Hey Schmuckie, instead of proposing bills that have no chance of becoming law, how ‘bout devoting that time to passing President Trump’s nominees?
They want to tax the hell out of it. They’ll also find that it’s bad for your health and sue everyone involved.
Please note the highlighting.
Chuck, you have a call from John Boner.
I’m tired of the law enforcement overreach on this issue. Legalize pot.
Now.
It’s not doing enough good locking up 2 million Americans for smoking a joint. Too costly financially and socially.

Isn’t that the same as what Trump said a week earlier? =>
“Trump also said he will support legislation to allow state autonomy under federal law, which currently makes pot possession for any reason outside limited research a crime.”
It’s over.
The Era of smug Prohibitionists and Elliot Ness-wannabe Crusaders can be remembered as a useless experiment by some very gullible people.
Good Riddance.
why doesn’t he do it on a state level instead of pushing for federal level? Or do the state level, THEN push for federal- if he’s not willing to put his money where his mouth is, what makes him think he can influence federals to do what he refuses to do himself?
Population is easier to control and manipulate when they are stoned all day. It is the modern equivalent of bread and circuses

Oh, it’ll be back. (cf. “Dawn to Decadence” by Barzun. https://www.amazon.com/Dawn-Decadence-Present-Western-Cultural/dp/0060928832?SubscriptionId=AKIAILSHYYTFIVPWUY6Q&tag=duckduckgo-ffnt-20&linkCode=xm2&camp=2025&creative=165953&creativeASIN=0060928832)
We can only laugh at how childish the DNC is in their pathetic pandering and irresponsibility.

All federal drug laws should be abolished except when drugs cross state borders. States should get to decide what they want to make legal and people can decide what state they want to live in.
