Not yet^^
Please don't call me "Bummer Bud", but I wouldn't hold my breath...At least not at the Federal level...
I've been around long enough to have seen how slow congress is, in most all matters.
Generally, they will call for "new studies" or just proclaim that not enough is now known about the subject...
"The Buck (seldom) Stops Here" in congress...
In the very early 70's, when I was a naive HS graduate, I would have sworn that Marijuana would be legal by 1980....
However, we can all hope that our politicians will remove their heads from their own posteriors...

Agree with ya, Bud. Sounds too logical, or needing more reviews (more monies spent on research, etc.)
IF they do tackle it, I'm sure they will tack on some type of bill in front of, or sandwhich inbetween, as politicians do to pass 'legislation' and those tacked on could prove worse by any stretch of the imagination....like another lame tax that benefits the 1%ers and the rest of us will eat dirt.
I'll be watching, waiting, wondering, pondering...IF it's really true and the timeline involved.
Have you ever heard of recreational schedule 1 drugs?
In my book having restrictions lightened (even slightly) is a much better scenario than having the harshest restrictions allowed by law

I watched the news conference today in full. I kinda get the feeling this might just be the time ....

Ya never know we might get lucky every step forward is a good thing. There is a lot of progression to make but a start is a start.

Exactly payaso, where I live there is nothing medical at all. shit if I hear a car door close at night I'm looking for a swat team lol. Weed is the only thing that helps my nerve damage if it wasn't for cannabis I really do believe I'd still be in a wheel chair. I shouldn't have to be so concerned every damn day.
Just about every single recreational drug out there is schedule 2. Coke, meth, most opiates except heroin...

The republicans in the house and senate will never let this through, and they control both houses after handing the Obama acolytes their asses in the last two elections.
10 seconds of ACTIVISM!

This only takes 10 seconds out of your life folks! Super easy way to send a message to your senators if you are into progress and supporting the new US Senate Bill in support of medical marijuana!
Use a legit address of a hotel in your state to keep your privacy if you're old school like me
Seriously takes 10 seconds to do this. Every baby steps counts, and if senators are flooded with messages they will listen to their constituents, they want to be reelected. Just the provision for helping our veterans is alone is worth supporting it, these guys need help now!
Also all the states that have a flood of marijuana and can't get rid of it will now be able to transport it across state lines without fear of federal prosecution, helping to raise wholesale prices!

The only thing those republicans listen to is big business cash...
Our votes mean nothing to them, most of these guys CANT be votes out because of the way they manipulate the districts. Great example is bill mahr's flip a district campaign of just what an impossible mission it can be to get rid of crooked encumbants who rig their districts.

just support it as much as you can and lets see what happens.....
i remember when i first started seeing about medical marijuana being voted on in by a state and just thinking "lol, good try guys, that will NEVER happen in the US".....and now look

I think that even Repubs sense a change in the Force, the will of the people. They've already denied funding for DEA enforcement against legit providers in MMJ states, so this would be a logical next step.
OTOH, it's a fallback position, one that doesn't include outright legalization & they'll fight to hold the line right there. They'll roll back legalization given the opportunity, regardless of the facts.
It's an entirely flawed strategy but they'll hold onto some very conservative constituencies over a transition they'll try to make as long as possible.
Unfortunately for them, the legalization effort is unfolding much faster than they can keep up with. Come 2016, they'll be faced with a choice of how to spend their propaganda dollars- holding back legalization or trying to win back the White House. They won't be able to mount the kind of campaigns Adelson used to turn back MMJ in Florida. Even if they win back the White House, they'll play Hell reversing current DoJ enforcement guidelines because they'll run up against their own States' Rights rhetoric & successful well documented legalization in several states.
The smartest among them knew they were screwed when Obama put it in those terms.
It's extremely important to have passable legalization measures on the ballot in as many states as possible for the 2016 election & to keep up the pressure in legislatures where that's not possible. I strongly urge everybody to lend financial support to the effort.
But it does absolutely shit for those of us that choose to medicate or recreate without some other "authoritarian" permission slip!
FUCK THIS SHIT!!!
This bill is nothing but a pacifier for those of you that are unwilling to remove your blinders and see the truth for what it is!
Now...
If a bill were intriduced to only regulate corporations...
I could agree.
BUT...
This bill is in your face... CORPORATIONS ATTEMPTING TO REMOVE CONTROL FROM INDIVIDUALS VIA LEGISLATION! The more "legal" this issue becomes, the more regulations we are subjected to!
Yall enjoy your pacifiers!
