It seems like the obvious thing to do.

Legalize it and tax it. Then let everyone currently in jail for it out of jail so we stop wasting money on them.

Then we can use that money for lower property taxes, better healthcare, better schooling, and taking care of our veterans.

lol nah itll just go to the military so they can buy like a billion paper plates or something

Lets go!

I feel like US decriminalization or legalization must already be baked into weed stock prices at this point but who knows, they are all over the place.

I certainly wont complain if we get a bump though, lol. I have a bunch of long term calls bought on the cheap that could pay off nicely.

Opposing marijuana legalization is 10 years out of step with the views of his party, but at least it is also very unpopular

The polling on Gay Marriage was a lot less clear when Biden supported that. 68 percent is incredibly high support.

Decriminalization is just a vector for selective enforcement.

it should at least un-grayarea it for the states that did legalize, though.

De-schedule THC, and repeal the 1937 Marhuana Tax Act. Then it becomes pretty much entirely a states' issue.

Things just get muddy, particularly talking about the political calculus, when you talk as if they are the same thing.

Decriminalization is far more popular within the party and it's what Biden ran on. Decriminalization does all of the important things that legalization would do, but is far more likely to be successful.

Does the legislation include something to prevent discrimination against users in the workforce? Theres really no point in legalizing it if your job can still test you for it. We are almost 2/3 of the way through 2021. Its time to stop living by these boomer rules and accept that people are going to smoke and theres nothing you can do to stop it.

Alcohol drinkers are allowed to work. Pill heads are allowed to work. Why not us??

Private companies can test for tobacco or alcohol if they want in most states, shouldn't be any different for weed. However if weed were to become legal most would stop testing just like most don't test for legal stuff now.

I would love to have a federal job and not get tested for marijuana. Wanna make sure Im not smacked out on OC? Sure. Wanna make sure Im not on meth? No problem. Ill take a breathalyzer every time I clock in or out and not complain one time.

The US Postal service, for example, should NOT test for it. Who cares if the guy sorting your mail smoked some pot last night to help him unwind and sleep? Until they can test to see if you are high at the exact time as the test, they need to stop testing for it. It just pisses me off that you can legally find work as a pill junky, but pot users are openly and gleefully discriminated against.

Public sector is a different matter. Some state and local municipalities don't test for it anymore in legal states, but yeah not going to happen for federal workers while the dinosaurs like Biden still run things.

It should definitely be legalized. It's as close to harmless as a drug can get.

It smells terrible and the smoke gives my sisters migraines. It should stay illegal for that alone.

Have you tried....I don't know...not being around it? What, are people breaking into your parents house and cheefing down blowing it in your face?

Might be time to get a job and find your own place, in that case.

Our villa at the beach this year had people smoking weed under us and whenever we went out in the evening there was a good 50/50 shot there would be a horrible skunk smell wafting up to us. We hated it, and it wouldnt have been an issue if it was still illegal.

still don't think you're trying very hard, because this basic trolling is so obvious. we all know you aren't actually this obtuse. be better, Duncan.
