Personally, I like that marijuana is illegal in most states. Washington state made $319 million in marijuana revenue last year which goes to schools and drug treatment (the irony). More for us.
Who wants to bet the corrupt DEA will immediately come out totally against this bill?
One has to wonder what their agenda is at this point in regards to marijuana, public opinion has changed, their opinion doesnt hold any weight at all, its not about what THEY feel is best, is about serving the people.
Once an agency starts serving its OWN interests over the peoples, that agency has become rogue and is no better than a terrorist organization imo.
I can honestly say with pride, I believe the DEA is a terrorist organization.

Oh, of course they will. It's all about $$$. That's really the bottom line.
The Federal minimum wage is still $7.25/hour, Oregon's minimum wage is now $10.25/hour and rises with inflation. This year it will go to $10.75/hour. So far, no one has gone out of business due to minimum wage hikes. In Portland, the minimum wage is $11.50/hour and will go to $12.00 in July.
So far, so good in Oregon.
yes... and that is the way it should be..... state or local controlled
So, drugs get a free pass but constitutionally-protected arms are still illegal on a federal level? This is a terrible idea. Drugs can easily grow from one state to another. That's why the EPA is need to some extent. NY should not be able to pollute a river that flows into NJ. Likewise, PA should not be able to allow the growing of drugs that will grow over in NJ or other states. To eliminate the horrible drug problem, we should look to countries that do it right like Japan and Malaysia. They don't have drug problems. More drugs is not the answer to our drug problems.
It's actually time to decriminalize ALL drugs. The government (federal, state, local) has no authority to tell people what substances they can put into their own bodies, nor does it have the right to bar entrepreneurial capitalists from selling and making a profit on drug sales.
I agree, the government nor anyone else should have the authority to punish you for choosing to do what you want to do so long as it doesn't harm others. At the same time, we should be educated about the effects of these substances.

prohibiting something is not the answer either
how well did prohibition work in the 20's....
humans want something MORE when its illegal (badboy syndrome )
legalize it, get rid of the stupid income tax... and bring in a consumption tax
Holy cow--Congress Critters actually did something productive for a change...
So stupid, they need legislation, to point back to the 10th Amendment.
No legislation needed. Just sue the federal government for breach of the 10th Amendment.
