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.”

I think I’m going to have to wait for your brain to clear, before I can make sense of what you say. What ... about next Fall before you get out of your ZOMBIE STATE? ... LOL ...
Stone cold sober here. What’s your excuse? You can’t answer anything with a straight answer. All you have is the grade school jive.
Obviously others on Free Republic have posted on the issue.
As far as how they’re related ... both are SCOURGES OF SOCIETY ...
You could have fooled me ... I guess that’s evidence and proof of brain damage, then ... :-) ...
Who has lost Cruz?
Stone Cold Zombie Scourge
My next band name. Thanks Star traveler.
"I'll have a Whopper, GAY SEX, and a small order of, HOMOSEXUALS ARE SCOURGING ME, and a small coke. TAKE ME NOW, BIG BOY!"
Is it Tourette's? You have homosexual Tourette's?
You’re most welcome ... :-) ...
I can see you’ve “gone over the edge” ... do you have anyone with you that can watch to make sure you’re okay, tonight? ... :-) ...
Bwaaaaaahahaha!
That would be an outstanding band name.
If that's a come on I don't swing that way.
I don’t associate with drugged-up ZOMBIE POTHEADS ... sorry to disappoint you ... :-) ...
Federal marijuana prohibitionists.
“I actually think this is great embodiment of what Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis called ‘the laboratories of democracy,'” Cruz said. “If the citizens of Colorado decide they want to go down that road, that’s their prerogative. I don’t agree with it, but that’s their right."
--Ted Cruz at CPAC.
I saw that earlier but I don’t know who has lost Cruz ... :-) ...
I should clarify that by saying ... Was anyone looking for Cruz, so that anyone would say we lost him? ... :-) ...
In other words ... I don’t live “on Cruz” ... I know who he is, but that’s no big deal to me. Maybe it is to someone else.
Yes you do. You’ve spent six hours responding to everything I’ve said. Not coherent responses, mind you, but you’ve responded.
You have an awfully shallow life if “this” is your concept of associating with someone ... LOL ...
You have a deficit in cogent thinking if you think it isn’t. ;-)
Talking to you here, has about the same equivalence for me as burping in a crowd of individuals ... and even less so with a drugged-up ZOMBIE POTHEAD ... :-) ...
In other words ... nothing at all ...
