House Passes MORE Act Which Decriminalizes Marijuana

[g5000]

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.

This bill should have been passed in the 1990's. This crap is 30 years late, c'mon. Good grief.

EVEN ARIZONA HAS PASSED IT FOR GOD SAKES.

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

Besides the fact there is no basis for criminalizing any drug, the feds in particular are not constitutionally authorized to regulate or restrict drugs.

There is no constitutional basis for the regulation of drugs.

While you're at it, repeal the FDA.

Not really but thanks for hating.

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

I see no problem if the FDA were an advisory agency that just gives data on safe and unsafe drugs,,, they shouldnt have any authority to restrict or support any drugs or substances or enforcement of any kind,,

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

Probably.

What we will have to do is let people **** themselves up and die, and I don't give a single shit.

technically meth isnt a drug, its chemicals mixed together that fry the brain and should be illegal,,

my view has always been the government cant restrict me from naturally grown anything,, if they can ban marijuana they can ban lettuce or any other plant,,

They have banned plants other than marijuana.

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.
