About time..... It took Trump coming to shake things up and start proposing common sense ideas. Pot should be legal like cigarettes and booze.
Interesting - do you think the Federal Taxpayer should fund Businesses to sell cigarettes and booze?
That's what this bill does. There are over a half dozen bills in the Congress to deal with Marijuana sales.
SHould we fund this stuff with Many Millions of Federal dollars -- OR, should be send it all to the States and let them vote on whether to make Marijuana sales Legal in their State and get the Federal Government to remove Marijuana from the Banned Drug List.
Yes, it is dead. No bill in Congress "legalizing" cannabis is going to get out of committee or even get a hearing as long as this guy is the Chairman of the Senate Judicial Committee:
"Sen. Charles Grassley (R) chairs the Judiciary Committee and has long been one of Congress's most ardent and vocal opponents of legalization. He has blocked bipartisan medical cannabis legislation from getting a hearing or a vote and has repeatedly criticized the Obama administration over its approach of generally respecting state marijuana laws."
Marijuana legalization is hopeless right now with the GOP in control. Though support is supposedly bipartisan, the Republican Party, backed by the Christian Right, Big Pharma, and the private prison industry, is the primary thing standing in the way of full legalization. I suspect there will be serious progress on this front under the next Democratic administration.

No, there won't be any serious progress if the parties change. This is NOT about politics.
It is about money.
It is about money.
It is about money. Nothing else matters. Not even an overwhelming majority of the public supporting legalization. The lawmakers, whether they are right, left, democratic, republican, conservative, liberal, GOP, Christian, atheist, black, white, green, or Martian, none of that matters, because they are not representing the will of the people.
Nothing else matters.
Nothing else matters.
Nothing else matters, that is until voters start voting prohibitionists out of office. The power of the vote is the ONLY power in the universe strong enough to usurp the enormous amounts of corrupt, under-the-table money flowing from lobbyists to politicians.
Until these politicians start losing their seats, public support for legalization could reach 99% and it would not matter, serious progress will still be frozen in corruption.
