Republican Sen. Rand Paul joined Democratic Sens. Cory Booker and Kirsten Gillibrand Tuesday to propose legislation to legalize medical marijuana on the federal level.
The bill, termed the Compassionate Access, Research Expansion and Respect States Act, would move marijuana from Schedule I to Schedule II, allow access for veterans and put a final stop to federal raids on dispensaries, among other things.
This is the first time a medical marijuana bill has been introduced in the Senate, whereas the House has seen 15 pieces of legislation on marijuana reform in the last session of Congress, according to Marijuana.com.
The move from Schedule I to Schedule II would mean federal regulatory recognition that marijuana has medicinal value, but also high abuse potential.
“This is an absolutely ground-breaking moment,” Leslie Bocskor, managing partner of Electrum Partners, told The Daily Caller News Foundation. “Whether it passes or not, the fact that it exists is an important step. In proposing to reschedule marijuana, the senators are also acknowledging the pre-existence of the marijuana manufacturing industry by including a provision on financial services and enforcement.”

Pee Wee Herman...I was more picturing the old pervert off of Family Guy. But thanks for the laugh bro...I needed it.
I have, you've proved to be an idiot. The fact that you're older than 10 should be a huge embarrassment to you.
They’ve got checks and balances there, and they check state records for multiple prescriptions from several doctors, plus they have to take drug tests every month and they have to have ONLY and EXACTLY the right drugs in their system and in the right amounts. In addition, the doctor can make surprise calls and you have to come in immediately for a drug test ... or else be dropped.
I’ve never seen an episode of the show, just clips, is he the fat guy?
Leave it to a drugged-up ZOMBIE POTHEAD to drag in their aging mother to defend their filthy habit!
Naw....he is the old pervert neighbor always after the fat guys son.
It’s revealing that you have no embarrassment for being in the category of a drugged-up ZOMBIE POTHEAD!
I'm referring to his position on leaving mj to the states. According to prohibtionists, shouldn't that make him an enabler of the SCOURGE of POTHEADS, since his position kicks federal drug warriors out of intrastate marijuana involvement and paves the way for more legalization?
I’ve never seen it. I just keep getting nothing but the equivalent of “I know you are but what am I?” There just is no conversation with someone on the extreme left end of the bell curve. lol
The feds should never be involved in any intrastate action.
Yet you’re not embarrassed that you can’t participate in a discussion on an adult level with me. ROTFLMAO
Imo...its more due to someone not coming to terms with their sexuality(or lack therof) than pure ignorance. ;)
Just imo of course.
He has an amazing preoccupation with homosexuality that’s for sure. I’ve never used that as a method of argumentation. Mostly because that isn’t an argument but I don’t have queers on the mind much either.
There’s no intelligence in any conversation with drunks, junkies or drugged-out ZOMBIE POTHEADS. They’re all similar in that regard ... and ... if you can even understand them through the slurring of their words ... LOL ...
For good or ill, marijuana legalization is de facto in the hands of the states now, and will soon be de jure as well.
Do you agree with that?
I figure there will be a push-back on that.
I guess you’ve missed all the threads on queers getting married ... on a Free Republic ... :-) ...
Says the guy who composes posts like a pre-pubescent girl with emotional issues.
Now you're going to do non-sequitur? That has nothing to do with this thread or your posts on it. Do queers jump to your mind no matter what subject is being discussed?
From where? When you’ve lost Cruz...
