If impaired users hurt people or property, OK, apply penalties.
Only 4 states are currently in full compliance with the federal law. Clearly the majority of people have made their choice.
By having federal laws that are widely ignored, we diminish the respect for federal authority. It's important for all law enforcement to be fully appreciated in enforcing legitimate and sensible laws.

Schumer will crap his pants if Trump says ,lets do it
Whut?...............................
Just in time for the shift in the War on Drugs towards prescription pain killers. Why go after dangerous drug smugglers when you can go after Uncle Bill with the gout problem and his doctor?
Schmuck Choomer.
“Schumer will crap his pants if Trump says ,lets do it”

He already has. Schumer is playing catch-up =>
“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.

I agree!
The Federal government’s job is NOT to protect me from ME; at MOST it should work on protecting me from YOU and you from ME!
They should make narcotic drugs just like alcohol; using it reasonably and on your time is none of MY business. However, if it is used and then you endanger others (i.e., driving under the influence, disturbing the peace, drug induced violence, etc.) then there should be MASSIVE penalties!
That's not going to help the injured or dead victims.
Schumer should be required to take a weekly drug test, just to prove there is no “conflict of interest”, or “collusion” in introducing this bill.
He also needs to be audited to see if there is a path to his enrichment by making this product commercially available.
Thirdly, he needs a mental test to find out why he wants to make this drug more available to people in an age of mass shootings, gangs, and other drug related, criminal activities.
Schumer (and anyone who votes for this bill) is a sleazebag.
“John Boehner announced that he was joining the board of marijuana company Acreage Holdings”
The orange A hole surfaces. I guess Black Jack is no longer his pause that refreshes.
Yet we still severe booze until 2am in bars and clubs and assume no one is driving home?
Agreed. But, you have the problem of victim compensation with every crime.
Even if you financially compensate, there is always pain.
That is the price of being around others.
We have to balance the cost of that inevitable harm with the cost of preventing it.
We have never stopped people, lots of people, from catching a buzz. It is just too hard and expensive for government to do it. It’s too big of a job.
It will take a hell of an issue away from the dems.
I see nothing in the Constitution that gives the fedgov any say in this; it’s the ultimate state’s rights issue.
This bill doesn’t make Schumer a sleazebag.
He wakes up that way.
But even a broken clock is right twice a day.
Conservative Republicans that want our taxes spent on effective law enforcement, and want the choice to have a drink or joint safely, ought to get in front of this.
How many people have died from weed overdoses?
Republicans should have gotten out ahead of this as a states rights issue, but too many people are stuck in the “damn dirty hippies” mentality.
You know some way for a different kind of law to uninjure or unkill people?
“He also needs to be audited to see if there is a path to his enrichment by making this product commercially available.”
Lololol, yeah cuz politicians never usually push for anything that special interests are promising to line their pockets over. This would be unprecedented!!!
Exactly. Great post. No need for me to comment. But as you see, I did anyway. +1
