This is worth supporting IMO, get the feds out of state business and save US taxpayers billions of dollars / year.... ------------------------------------------------------------ Federal: Bill Introduced To End Federal Marijuana Prohibition Representatives Tom Garrett (R-VA) and Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) have introduced bipartisan legislation, HR 1227, to exclude marijuana from the Controlled Substances Act, thus leaving states the authority to regulate the plant how best they see fit. The “Ending Marijuana Prohibition Act of 2017” eliminates federal criminal penalties for possessing and growing the plant. This legislation gives states the power and flexibility to establish their own marijuana policies free from federal interference.

I smelled it 30 years ago on the chocolate delivery boy who rear ended my Lincoln Mark IV with his delivery van. "Sorry man" - my shoulder still still hurts because of that dickweed.

Its illegal here, and im sure still would be even if this legislation passed. Id just like to see the feds taken out of the equation and power given back to the states.

At least it might let banks handle some of that 734 trillion dollars in small bills sitting around in pot shops in states where it's legal.

anyone ever seen the Internal Revenue Code.. it has something like 20 plus pages detailing the regulation and taxation of Marijuana.
go to a Federal Depository Library ( for those who know what they are) and one can look that sort of stuff up...
I'm 100% against the legalization of it....and live in an area that there is a sea of it being grown... and see first hand all the social problems it brings into a town, even tho its suppose to be a "victimless crime"......
but hey, even I know I am swimming against the tide...
it'll be legalized everywhere and once it causes enough problems like it does in this town and county, they'll start regulating it once again...

Get it off the Schedule I list so companies can freely research any benefits that may be provided by the dozens of CBD's in Cannabis plants.

I don't get the money and publicity on attacking the "opiod crisis to save a generation" then the next breath talking about legalizing pot.

Once legalized and state legislatures get hold of the tax money I doubt it would be prohibited again.
Not to beat a tired drum but alcohol right now causes far more problems, highway injuries and deaths, broken families and God knows what else than marijuana, and tobacco is killing more people by slow strangulation every year and no one is even remotely thinking of prohibiting those.

The states can regulate it, if they choose. It makes no sense at all for states to make it legal, but the feds to keep it illegal. If something is "legal", there should be no avenue for prosecution, at the whim of the feds...

...I...see first hand all the social problems it brings into a town, even tho its suppose to be a "victimless crime"... This is largely due to its present illegality and the war on drugs.

This says it all: A schedule 1 right next to heroine and opiates is BS, give the power back to the states...let the Feds deal with real problems. Making weed appear socially acceptable to young children, will cause major problems down the road...but drinking causes more deaths than weed ever will.

I find that very hard to believe...for very long. Now that's it's recreational legal and Mom/Dad/Gramps are burning a blunt in the living room daily, that child will be following suit at some point...many studies have been done on smoking/drinking influences of parents on children for years.
