420, of course, is a special number for marijuana enthusiasts, who celebrate the plant extra hard every April 20.
The new bill filed in the House on Wednesday by Rep. Earl Blumenauer (D-OR) is titled the Regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol Act. If passed, it would remove cannabis from the federal Controlled Substances Act.
“While the bill number may be a bit tongue in cheek, the issue is very serious. Our federal marijuana laws are outdated, out of touch and have negatively impacted countless lives,” Blumenauer said in a press release. "Congress cannot continue to be out of touch with a movement that a growing majority of Americans support. It’s time to end this senseless prohibition.”

It would be great if it passed but the pants-in-a-twist republicans would never allow it.
Those "pants-in-a-twist" Republicans are the only thing keeping the Democrats from turning this country into some kind of trendy social hippie experiment. The Republicans are the adults that keep the wild child Democrats in check. Thank god for that.
A voice in the wilderness. The same things I've said for awhile. As we legalize, dealers have and will continue to increasingly focus on selling to minors. As we learn more about the connection between marijuana and psychosis, among other things, people will someday look back at what we did with shame, particularly after it has become clear that we created a new equivalent of the tobacco industry to prey upon new generations with more potent drugs.

You mean the "keep government out of our lives" party that wants to poke there nose in everyones lives. That GOP party?
