Marijuana new Federal law analysis by Mr Brand. Seems state's prosecute dope users, not the Federal govt so basically virtue signaling.
Russel's not a Lawyer so his analysis means little. POTUS Joe has put some wheels in motion and that's a good thing. Hopefully it leads to Gov's giving Pardons and taking pot off the Schedule 1 list.
DEA Federal? No more funds for them re dope then which means they can concentrate on harder stuff.
The reason they decriminalised it in Sth Aust years ago was economics. Someone did a study into cost re police resources and court time that could be saved if decriminalised. It all comes down to the mighty $$$$$.
