Congress to vote on Cannabis Legalization: Write your congressperson
The House will vote Friday on the Marijuana Opportunity Reinvestment and Expungement Act, or MORE Act, which would decriminalize cannabis and clear the way to erase nonviolent federal marijuana convictions.
The MORE Act would also create pathways for ownership opportunities in the emerging industry, allow veterans to obtain medical cannabis recommendations from Veteran Affairs doctors and establish funding sources to reinvest in communities disproportionately affected by the war on drugs.
Friday's vote would mark the first time a full chamber of Congress has taken up the issue of federally decriminalizing cannabis.Last edited by Buster Highmen; 12-04-2020 at 11:02 AM.

I've written to my Senator repeatedly and he's still a fuckhead. He's demonstrated he's a fuckhead and will continue to be so. This, along with legalization, is something I will vote for every time and talk to my friends and family about but in my case changing his mind isn't happening.
Edit: I emailed the fuckhead and my other Senator. We'll see how they vote. I'm interested given the recent election results to legalize it here in MT.Last edited by concretejungle; 12-04-2020 at 02:25 PM.

^ I won't go into polyass detail, but no, marginal Dem control of the Senate, while making a big difference on a lot of issues, would probably not be enough to put cannabis decrim over the top. But hey, winning a House vote... progress!

There was a federally commissioned study on this subject in the early '70's. The results showed that there was no big risk in legalizing. But Nixon ordered the results not be released because he believed legal weed would make it harder to arrest Blacks, Jews and Hippies (He used more pejorative terms).
All that has changed is that no one is scared of hippies anymore, plus Nixon's paranoid fixation on nonexistent communist Jews is irrelevant:
We know that:
A) Enforcing marijuana laws costs billions every year
B) Spending more money on enforcement doesn't reduce the amount people use.
C) Legalizing doesn't do much to increase marijuana use.
Illegal weed is all about putting certain people in jail.

Living in skinhead land up North, I don't know of anyone regardless of political affiliation who does think at least decriminalization is a bad idea.
I think the only people who are against it are old school republican ex-cops/criminal justice system people. And old people afraid of reefer madness.
