Democratic senators are putting pressure on the Biden administration to use its authority to deschedule cannabis, as a Senate proposal to legalize marijuana faces an uphill battle.
Democrats press Biden to use ‘existing authority’ to take step toward marijuana legalization
Sens. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), Cory Booker (D-N.J.) and others on Wednesday sent a letter calling on the Biden administration to “use its existing authority to (i) deschedule cannabis and (ii) issue pardons to all individuals convicted of nonviolent cannabis-related offenses.”

Actually it is particularly famous for paradoxical and unpracticable effects.
Wow, anyone who disagrees with your hysteria is a "druggie"? How terribly intellectual, noob.
Lol
Lets apply your “no man is an island” rhetoric to other causes.
You won’t like what you find.(See Covid Virus hysteria for a recent reminder)
How about firearm ownership?
Do you like having a 2nd Amendment?
“I do.”
Oh wait, no man is an island.(Sarcasm)
Firearms do not affect a person’s brain chemistry. You might as well ask anything else, literally. Just stupid.
“ Sens. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), Cory Booker (D-N.J.)”
That’s three dope-heads if ever I’ve seen ‘em.
You WILL see freepers supporting them, hardcore. All they want to do is get high, they don’t care about who supports it or why.
Don’t know what that means. I’m not a “drug supporter” but I don’t support locking people up for smoking a weed if they choose to.
I will draw a line a black market pharmaceuticals though. And many “legal” prescribed ones as far as that goes.
“Doesn’t end well.”
I’ve noticed the same thing.
People lined up in long lines at the drug store/pharmacy, waiting to get their prescriptions filled.
I’m just not sure there is any linkage to high energy prices, high food prices, and high real estate valuations.
I’m open to having dialogue on these issues, though.
I look at how life has changed in both Washington and Oregon since dope became legal on a daily basis. Increased homelessness, decreased employment, increased dependence upon government “welfare”. Just what the left wants for our future.
Did a lot of police departments turn asset forfeiture into their personal ATMs? Hell yeah. The War on Drugs was the abusive father of the Patriot Act, stripping many of our rights.
Once again, this is an issue that is NOT present in our Constitution, and should therefore be a State issue ONLY. Just look at the commies screaming for this, and anyone with two functioning brain cells knows it’s bad for the US.
Very easy solution, the Singapore way.
.
The connection I’m making is that we have huge problems, huge debt, failing schools, and Dems want to legalize marijuana.
In my mind, failing schools are difficult to fix (especially since they pander to their constituents), but it’s pretty easy to take a Vote to legalize.
We’re still left with a horrible economy, crushing debt - and Joe still giving away the store for two more years.
“Firearms do not affect a person’s brain chemistry. You might as well ask anything else, literally. Just stupid.”
How about graphic violence in movies?
What do “experts” say about the brain chemistry for some weirdo that wants to watch people getting killed all the time?
The substance in cannabis-bearing plants is just as intoxicating and permanently damaging to the human constitution and society as ethanol, much worse than tobacco which is also federally regulated. Banning it is at this point unenforceable. Rejection of it as a regulated poison should be the attitude of the federal drug agency as the substances spoken of.
““Firearms do not affect a person’s brain chemistry. You might as well ask anything else, literally. Just stupid.”
How about graphic violence in movies?”
Or video games.
I was originally going to talk about pot or weeds or something, but there are many peer reviewed studies linking lead from firearms to brain function.
Exposure to external stimuli can not be compared to drugs.
While there are all kinds of libertarians,and all kinds of libertarians-in-name-only, generally speaking most would not be benefited in any way by more mass shootings.
If anything, mass shootings would be detrimental to anything libertarian.
Likewise with conservatives who are with Constitutionalists, or old Democrats who still support the 2nd amendment. None of these groups has anything to gain from mass shootings.
There is one group which can benefit from mass shooting events, and that is the antigun, anti second amendment bunch, which includes ordinary criminals who fear getting caught by their armed intended victims; corrupt politicians who benefit from scaring constituents to the ballot box or donation box; advocates for large all powerful centralized government; the media that needs lots of blood to bring subscribers; special interest groups who can use mass shooting events for fundraising; socialists/communists who need a disarmed populace in order to carry out future pogroms to secure power; and foreign adversaries, who want to take advantage of shootings to keep us fighting amongst ourselves. If we are at each other’s throughts we cannot pay attention to what foreign enemies are up to.
The voters legalized in my state through a ballot initiative.
The state was already a leftwing craphole politically.
I also know farmers who are growing hemp which isn’t the issue Houserino brought up.They seem to be making money.
The schools are indoctrination centers for these ideologies- feminist supremacy, environmental zealotry, gay activism, black supremacy, etc.
Only a change in curriculum and educators will change that fact.
You’re confusing libertarians with being rational or smart. They are neither.
They don’t care about consequences when it comes to drugs, they’d mostly give the 2nd gladly in order to be able to legally get high.
Correlation is not causation. Couldn’t have had anything to do with the Great Recession and Obama-era policies. Nope...gotta be legal weed.
