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’m going by the POTHEADS I’ve seen directly and over a period of years. (45) There’s not anything anyone can do to discredit my own eyeballs.
Isn’t that like asking homosexuals what they think about homosexual marriage? ... LOL ...
That false syllogism is as applicable to your (identical) statement as it is to mine.
Someone “outside the cult” can see things much clearer ... whether it’s the homosexual cult or the POTHEAD cult ... :-) ...
There’s the ad-hominem.
I thought I already went there before ... when I noted that POTHEADS are the SCOURGE OF SOCIETY ... LOL ...
That was just a generalized opinion but, yes, you’ve pretty much covered the gamut of liberal’s debate tactics.
Yeah, it’s liberalism all right to oppose ZOMBIE POTHEADS and HOMOSEXUAL MARRIAGE or to point out, about each ... their CULT STATUS ... LOL ...
Conflating two issues to obfuscate. Another liberal debate tactic.
Donkeys stick with donkeys and rats stick with rats ... there’s nothing peculiar about that ... :-) ...
You seem to be stuck with them alrighty. You don’t have anything but their tactics to bring to the table.
They both are the SCOURGE OF SOCIETY ... so it was a natural fit ... :-) ...
But not as bad as statists who accept trashing the Constitution to further their own agenda.
Yep ... those are the same statists who attempt to control murder, assaults, rapes, thefts, etc. ... I know those “statists” all right ... LOL ...
Yes, the drug warriors who don’t care about trampling the Constitution to get their high.
Oh, you mean those drugged-up ZOMBIE POTHEADS who have no respect for our society that the Constitution is supposed to protect. Yep, they’re in the same category as those crazy, raging queer queens who want to get married ... both the SCOURGE of any SOCIETY.
Feel free to support your compatriots ... :-) ...
No, I mean you and I will support the Constitution.
BTW, what’s with the all caps? Are you ten years old?
You sound just as bad as those drugged-out ZOMBIE POTHEADS, who qualify to be at the same level as those raging drag queens and fudge-boys ... both being the SCOURGE OF SOCIETY ... who need to be eliminated from this earth.
You keep trying to lay the homo agenda at my doorstep which only makes you look like an idiot. Not that it’s the only thing that makes you look like an idiot.
