I'm sure the Democrats, as usual, knew this was coming for a vote and increased their stock portfolio just like they did with the Climate Control and EV's

Weed may be a poor lifestyle choice for many people,
but nobody should ever be put in a cage over it.
BTW, it didn't seem to hold Elon Musk back.

Biden is against it, he believes it's the devil's weed.

here is some fun facts:

https://www.cdc.gov/marijuana/data-statistics.htm

Of course being scientific or showing geographic/economic facts wont help get this passed.

I had the great displeasure of having to deal with consumers who smelled of skunk weed. Never mind that having any type of "reality" driven conversation was for naught. Yes there is a reason Cheech and Chong, and the Beavis/Butthead hit the circuit for media views. Most could identify with knowing or having that person cross paths with them. As stereotypical as it may come off, its more true then not.

Medical MJ is primarily administered in oil, liquid form or vape.

But, that's not what he ran for President on. Why do we even Vote? They say what we want to hear and do nothing.....

And there are lots of legal things that are a bad idea. Junk food, alcohol and cigarettes to name a few. Either you want to the nanny state to tell people what they can and cannot do or let people have the freedom to decide for themselves.
But junk food and cigarettes are not mind-altering drugs.

Companies fire potheads for very good reason.
Calm down.
Probably does less damage than alcohol which has been around for a long time.
I work hard, I pay my bills, I take care of my family.
If I want to enjoy a bit of weed every now and then.... the government can just leave me alone.

If it was supposed to scare high school age kids away from trying marijuana, I would say that is a good thing. It should be discouraged, not encouraged.

And?

The way you try and pigeonhole a conversation is about as disingenuous as it gets. Spare me the cdc citing. A simple query will yield you countless studies on the benefits of marijuana (I don't think it's necessary to list a page worth of links). And no... next up is not coke and meth, no matter how many times you want to spew nonsense like that.
