I’m so glad we have a government tackling the serious, pressing issues of the day.
Where would we be without them?
I’ve been expecting this for awhile. Not saying it’s a good idea or a bad idea, but it makes no sense for so many states to say it’s legal and yet have it remain a federal crime.
So how much fertilizer is going to be wasted growing dope when it is needed to grow food?
And we still don’t have a national standard for driving while impaired.
Lovely.
The grotesque stench produced from modern marijuana should be illegal as a public nuisance.
Great, now all the kids in public schools can be stoned while being told to switch genders.
Nothing but demonic wickedness comes out of the House nowadays.
marijuana is classified as a hypnotic drug for a good reason ...
Yup...My two irresponsible grandsons are now free to smoke their heads off.
The federal gov’t has no legal authority to regulate or ban marijuana.
Cocaine was legal at the founding of this nation. It should be decriminalized as well.
The FDA has failed to ensure drug safety (opioids) and medical product safety so many times that it is a multi-billion agency that is useless.
Wonder if that means they’ll update form 4473 for purchasing a firearm?
They call it legalization when it isn’t, in fact, legalization. It’s just the federal govt getting into the drug-pushing racket. Legalization means legal to grow, buy, sell without any but the usual taxation if you’re trading in it.
Here in Colorado a whole lot of - let’s not call them dumb, but IDEALISTIC - idealistic folks went head-over-heels into the “legal weed” racket and lost their life’s savings. The govt does what it does: It encourages you to invest in something, then once you have, it jacks up the regulations, taxes, and fees making it impossible to keep the business going. (A lot of people took out business licenses to trade in weed because it made their off-the-books weed sales easier and more profitable.)
In Colorado’s case a lot of folks ran out and sank their $$$ into a legal weed business and then could not keep up with the increasing regulations and taxes and ended up in default with the State seizing all their facilities and equipment. There will be more illegal growing operations in the USA’s national parks - which are already rendered dangerous for recreation by pot-growers from Mexico. If you stumble upon a weed grow in the outback somewhere, you’re risking your life.
Drug cartels will become more visible and have more influence in the community. Opioid-related deaths will increase.
NOT legalization. Just more Democrat BS to strengthen their criminal/psycho/addict army.
Keep them stoned is the order of the day. A high society is a democrat society. Funny how tobacco is bad and cannabis is good Beverly though it has been proven that cannabis is a carcinogen to the brain.
Idiots. America is imploding and we want to make dope even more accessible.
Well, at least the FR liberTardian fools will be happy. /s
This article starts with a glaring error. The "War on Drugs" started in June 1971 during the Nixon presidency.
They need to help their buddies Bayer and Dow, who intend to grow MJ.
The government lost BILLION$ in revenue from their attacks on Big Tobacco.
They are just trying to increase their tax revenue by legalizing Big Marijuana.
Good.
Its about damn time.
The whole anti MJ is ludicrous.
I tried it once or twice. Eh,...no big deal. Messes up your short term memory for an hour or two is all. Not my thing.
Nothing more than a shot or two of bourbon and bourbon is legal last time I checked.
Its all so utterly stupid.
Has the roadside test for ‘driving while stoned’ been invented yet?
Not that I’m aware of.
