Nonetheless, I like that more Democrats in congress are starting to push for legalization on a federal level. However, they face an extreme uphill battle thanks to the Christian Right.
So at the wedding at Cana Jesus turned the water into grape juice. Must have been a lousy wedding.

That's what Baptists believe. I agree, it doesn't make sense.

No, it is not what they believe, it is what you believe they believe.

Good. Maybe now, the states can make some tax revenue that they sorely need. Hopefully Trump and the Republicans won’t bankrupt us until then.

Watch the video I posted above. I grew up heavily in the IFB church. It was always preached that wine, when mentioned positively in the Bible, was grape juice. When mentioned negatively, it is alcoholic wine.

You are for states' rights, or you're not for states' rights. If you think cannabis is a worthy exception for federal overreach, let's hear why.

if you think "federalism" is some kind of yes/no question, then you don't know what it is and should refrain from using that word.
