What is really suspicious about this, not long ago after more states voted to legalize, the DEA, took out a full page ad, basically reiterating that it is STILL a schedule 1 drug and they would NOT be changing anytime soon.
I couldnt believe how bold this corrupt agency was...first, they are nothing more than an agency, they are not lawmakers themselves (the ad implied it is them, the DEA, who can change this)...
And more importantly, this is NOT their decision to make, govt is supposed to represent the interest of the people, since more and more people are beginning to see what a failure the drug war has been, public sentiment is changing...how dare a govt agency attempt to do what they think is best?!!

I think it's cute you think that the government actually represents the interest of the public. LOL, J/K.
We just passed something here in CA last year making recreational weed legal. I keep hearing about all of the revenue Colorado is supposedly ranking in on taxes for the stuff. We'll see if that happens here or not.
Probably wouldn't matter, the politicians here could never get enough tax money to pay for all of the crap they want for all of the illegals and other social welfare programs.
Trump favors leaving marijuana legalization to the states. That's different from Harris' position.
The president is only in a position to help change federal law. Therefore the position is really not that different. As president either Trump or Harris would be able to sign a bill eliminating the current federal law making it illegal, they would not have power over how states treat it.

From the article.
Quote:
In May, Harris signed on as a cosponsor of a Booker-led bill to remove marijuana from the Controlled Substances Act and withhold federal funding from states with discriminatory cannabis enforcement.
The problem here? I don't trust her. What you did before you decided to run for office is important.
Apparently not. It was obvious Trump was a no good con man (Trump University, shady real estate deals funded by the Russian neo-mafia) and his supporters voted for him anyway. Before the election Trump's background had more red flags than a Soviet military parade.
I technically agree with the proposal in principle, but now is not the time for that kind of policy. Right now, states should be able to keep it illegal if they choose. The part that withholds federal funding to states that keep it illegal will result in backlash that could undo all the progress we've seen on this issue. Red states aren't going to take kindly to that.
With that said, something that is completely legal in one state shouldn't result in a decade behind bars and a felony record just for crossing an imaginary line.
I am not allowed to do it unless it's legal on a federal level. Even if it's legal in my state (which is not Calif), I can't do it.
Those are the fed rules!
No...if something is legal on the federal level, states CANNOT make it illegal.
