Also sponsors:The bill is co-sponsored by Reps. John Conyers (D-MI), Steve Cohen (D-TN), Jared Polis (D-CO), and Barbara Lee (D-CA).
Guess what the Feds did after they lifted alcohol prohibition. TAXED IT. Ron Paul needs all kinds of new taxes.
No, the bill would have ended FEDERAL prohibition. Every single state in this country has prohibition that would *not* go away. A few states have medical exemptions.
If you are against an end to federal prohibition, that’s fine. Just be honest when you post and don’t insinuate dope would have been legal the day after it passed. It still would have been illegal in all 50 states, making it very difficult for the feds to tax.
There is a case to be made that it should be legal at the federal level, but that’s not what you brought up.
