House votes to decriminalize marijuana at federal level

About time.

I'd like to hear Republicans (who voted 5-158 against) explain why the gov't protecting people's health by temporarily mandating masks during a pandemic is an affront to freedom, but smoking some herb is an arrestable offense putting you into the police and court system.

Of course, it's mostly a state issue, but this will just align fed and state policies.  And stop the Feds from bothering state legalization efforts, as well as open up banking for the maryjane industry.
It is not going to be a federal law in your lifetime.

Gateway drug

Congrats to New Jersey for ushering in the dirty madness.

Legal drugs aren't gateway drugs because the user doesn't interact with a black market to buy them.   That's one of the points IN FAVOR of mj legalization. 

If alcohol were illegal, it would be cited as a gateway drug.

BTW,  Kid Carter,  could you do the courtesy of replying to people's posts that directly address yours?  If you put something controversial out there,  please respond to those who engage with you.

OC-take a #, and a seat. It might be awhile.

Kid serves his idiotic hot takes daily and has for over two decades, but just like in his school days, he doesn't provide answers when called on.

Kiid still does fuck his mother with his racist mouth, even after all these years.

All real Rastas toke and don’t tipple. Toking diabetics following their doctor’s orders don’t drink either. Stoners who don’t like the effect or taste of booze do one but not the other.

All the tight wads like Red who oppose MJ due to a pathologically ridiculous fear of hippies are dying quickly from their opioid addictions. There are very few people dumb enough to join them and make up for the die off so opposition to marijuana legalization shrinks by a decent sized grave yard every day if not faster since the same people who oppose pot are actively trying to catch and spread Covid.
