Pot should remain ILLEGAL.
Democrats grasping at some populist issue to sell to the American people for elections. That is what this is, it appeals to independents.
Never. They use it as a motivator to get their base to the polls.
I think meth and heroin should be distributed for free to all democrats
Have a neighbor who has been on that sh#t since the VN war.
Acts effd up, talks effd up, and walks effd up.
He is effd up!
Just like the present POTUS we have in office. Matter of fact, thinking about it, he is exactly like him.
“Pot should remain ILLEGAL.”
Yep, like we don’t have enough drug problems as it is.
LOOK at California, Oregon and Washington. Homelessness and crime has skyrocketed since legalizing drugs.
Pot should remain ILLEGAL.
Apparently Congress got the power to outlaw things nationally via the Wickard v Filburn case where SCOTUS ruled that Congress can regulate anything that could possibly be sold across state lines regardless of whether it actually was.
The fact that the Dems are tacking on a tax on marijuana means it will be legal only if the taxes are paid on it. They should ask California how well that’s working out.
“When Will Democrats Get Serious About Repealing Pot Prohibition?”
Right after they’ve determined just the right formula for a deadly mixture of pot and fentanyl.
Less live people equals less CO2.
I believe that legalization of Mary Jane without updating firearms ownership prohibitations is one component of the war of personal fire arms ownership....
While I’m against full legalization of pot, they first need to figure out what constitutes under the influence while driving, and if legalization will prevent people from owning firearms.
Legalizing marijuana isn’t very helpful although we are insane for incarcerating those who are caught with it.
Good luck trying to tax something that is as easy to grow as a tomato plant.
Since when are the Republicans in control of the Senate? It says it died in the Republican controlled Senate. When was this bill?
IIRC few,if any,are jailed for having small quantities. It’s the distributors.
No, most will say they started with alcohol. If you want to go back even further you could say they started with milk.
If pot can be safely used, without consequences endangering the user or others, as its supports would argue. Then there can be no down side to banning legal excuses of responsibility from actions taken under its alleged influence. Folks should held as responsible for their actions with pot as without it. Including being responsible enough to limit their own consumption to levels they can so handle. If, on the other hand they intend users to be waived of responsibility “because they were too stoned to know any better,” to be allowed to damage others while being excused of liability, to draw on public welfare or medical care because they are no longer capable of providing for themselves, then their legalization argument breaks down.
Businesses that use delivery vans-—such as florists—will be out of business if they cannot find drug free drivers.
IF I am your vehicle/liability insurance company- I will NOT insure a person on any drugs.

Problem with putting a tax on marijuana is there is already an organized criminal network established for distribution and sale of illegal drugs. And they tend to be violent. They’re the ones who will be selling the untaxed weed which will likely be cheaper than the ‘legal’ stuff.
