House Passes MORE Act Which Decriminalizes Marijuana

[Zincwarrior]

It won't happen. The prison industrial complex has a vested interest in it not happening.

Hmmm, maybe this is the democrat platform which they will be touting for the Nov election.

 

[Baron Von Murderpaws]

I'll vote for the legalization of pot, IF they criminalize and exorcise Democrats.

Along with the enhanced stimulus checks, $10k paid off your student loans, no mandates for masks, and curing cancer.

Legalization of Marijuana is extremely popular with drug addicts and cartel sellers that have daycare to sell to.

Actually, Cartels will lose a lot here because when it is legal it can be grown all over America and cheaper too which will cut out a lot of the Cartel and their profits in the process.

Americans overwhelmingly say marijuana should be legal for medical or recreational use

With more states authorizing the use of marijuana, the public continues to favor legalizing it for medical and recreational purposes.

www.pewresearch.org

As more states, including Virginia and New York, continue to legalize marijuana, an overwhelming share of U.S. adults (91%) say either that marijuana should be legal for medical and recreational use (60%) or that it should be legal for medical use only (31%). Fewer than one-in-ten (8%) say marijuana should not be legal for use by adults.

Who thought we'd ever see this day? It is long past due.

The Marijuana Opportunity Reinvestment and Expungement Act passed the House 220-204 with a sprinkling of Republican support.

It goes now to the Senate, where Chuck Schumer and two others are already crafting the Senate version.

Bill to legalize marijuana passes U.S. House, but faces dim prospects in Senate

The U.S. House of Representatives on Friday passed a bill to end the federal ban on marijuana, which has created legal headaches for users and businesses in the states that have legalized it, though the measure was seen as unlikely to pass the Senate.

Legalization of marijuana is extremely popular among Americans: a 2021 Pew Research Center poll found that 91% agreed that either medical or recreational use should be allowed.

Democratic Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has proposed his own bill that would legalize marijuana, and has committed to moving forward with it in April.


This is NOT an April Fool's joke.

That’s such great news….perfect timing!
$30 TRILLION in debt, blown-up deficit spending, more on the welfare tit than ever before, a degenerate citizenry like never seen in America, an open southern border…..FUCK IT…why not, lets legalize it all.

 

[Moonglow]

You do realize the President could just pick up the phone, right?

Dems do like their grandstanding.

Just pick up the phone and?

Why not If one must work one must relax.

 

[Moonglow]

such as??

Poppy.

 

[g5000]

Now the Senate can pass their own version and by the end of the summer, we may have a law.

Hopefully Biden will still know how to sign his name by then.

 

[BluesLegend]

There is no constitutional basis for the regulation of drugs.

While you're at it, repeal the FDA.

It's still illegal for mush brain retard drug abusers to steal to pay for their habit right.

Weed will get you through times of crazy politics, better than politics will get you through times of no weed.

Did meth once, it sucked to high noon. Had a fling with the 'white lady', I had to let her go.
Heroine is for losers, and I was never a loser.

You should actually try to support why it should be illegal in the first place.

No, that's been legalized in certain states.

 

[BluesLegend]

No, that's been legalized in certain states.

Let me guess, Dem run blue states?

He can always use an auto-sign machine.

Let me guess, Dem run blue states?

BINGO!

 

[g5000]

Would the Bill open the door to decriminalize meth, and opioids in the future?
just asking because I don't know for sure.

I have always been opposed to the legalization of hard, highly addictive drugs. However, my position has been changing.

The War on Drugs™ has been a catastrophic failure. Drug use, drug deaths, drug availability have not decreased in the slightest. None of the aims of this stupid war have been achieved. And there is no end game.

Continually pounding away at the problem with the same old hammers is way beyond stupid.

Insanity: Doing the same thing over and over again, expecting a different result.

We need to admit defeat and try something else. Some experimental harm reduction programs have demonstrated success and we should pursue those further.

We need to stop looking at the addict as a purely evil being who must be punished.

Imagine what would happen to the crime rate if we could free an addict from their addiction!

This is where we need to focus our efforts.
