Weed won the "war on drugs". Yea! They gonna call this the MORE Weed Act!
House set to pass marijuana legalization Friday. The bill, titled the Marijuana Opportunity Reinvestment and Expungement (MORE) Act.
I predict it will be passed eventually by both houses of congress. Lots of money to be made and both sides love that...
I really think it will be defeated by the corporatist Democrats who get their funding from big Pharma.
I hope you’re wrong, there.
So am I, I have little faith left in Democrats these days, what with their responses to all the crisis we face.
@Theresa_N It's not the fault of Democrats so much as one (again) with an evenly split Senate. This is another fault of states which will not elect the Dem on their ticket and that's why cons are able to get away with juvenile stunts/accusations/disruptions and such. That one would be replaced by another con if something happened to him so the Putin solution won't work, either. 45 is essentially a third Party, I call them the Q-P, and I think that's what is really making them so excited.
@Theresa_N you dropped your faith in religion; I hope you can drop your faith in Democrats.
I see both parties as corrupted by money — and want to lessen its influence — but I see Democratic corruption as more humane than Republican (sociopathic, especially now) corruption.
I’m happy to have lived most of my life in states whose voters have direct democracy: the direct initiative, referendum and recall. Voters in CA recently told our Demo state legislature to clean up their act. The Assembly did but the Senate didn’t until a court ordered them to do it.
