Check it out. Looks like Rand Paul and Al Franken are joining forces to end marijuana prohibition!

Sessions wants to after medical and recreational marijuana. Congress needs to stop him. Spread the word!

Schedule II classification puts it squarely in the hands of big pharma and NOBODY else.

IMO makes it worse than Schedule I and illegal when you think about the long term implications.

Do you want to give a pharmaceutical company big bucks, have to get a scrip from your DR and be on a list of users for an end product way shittier than you can produce yourself?

This is political maneuvering by both to give them something popular to point to during the mid terms as a reason for reelection and nothing more.

At first i though that J Sessions asking for a reefer madness style crackdown might help congress pass a real mj law but im not so sure anymore. Too many "important" people hate on weed for it to be federally legal. The only way to legalize is at the state level but now these states want to pass crap laws with no home grows and a monopoly of producers to jack up the tax rate and collect more money to squander

[Jhhnn]

If new legislation doesn't endorse state level legalization it falls short of keeping what we already have, if precariously so. It would give Sessions an excuse to rescind the Cole memo if Congress fails to include such provisions. The nebulous nature of the whole current situation prevents such action on his part. I'd rather keep it than give him any openings.

What about H.R. 1227, aka the “Ending Federal Marihuana Prohibition Act of 2017” by Rep. Garrett [R-VA-5] ?

https://www.scribd.com/document/3413...7ih#from_embed

The main goal of the bill appears be the complete ending of federal prohibition of marijuana [spelled: marihuana in bill], as its name suggests. The major alterations to current federal law, which would be responsible for the ending of prohibition are the removal of marijuana from the Schedule Of Controlled Substances, as well as removing the prohibition on importing and exporting marijuana.

H.R. 1227 is headed up by Rep. Tom Garrett (R-VA) and co-sponsored by Rep. Justin Amash (R-MI), Rep. Ed Blumenauer (D-OR), Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI), Rep. Jared Polis (D-CO), Rep. Scott Taylor (R-VA), and Rep. Don Young (R-AK At-Large).

If all it does is change from schedule ! to !! it is no improvement and maybe a big step back.

[rolandomota]

Not in this life maybe the next one. Ok now i will read the thread...no wait lol i already responded

[TheMan13]

I agree too many important people in DC hate weed rolandomota or at least find maintaining it's criminal prohibition in their best interests. Although if the media actually called out these folks on the realities of the matter, they'd only begin pointing fingers and start doublespeaking. It's definitely a conversation the People need to have/understand, as 50 years has been far too long to wait ...

I don't think we're quite ready for that. Prohibition states still want DEA help in preventing the evil weed from crossing their borders. They like that & will fight to keep it, fools that they are.

All I know is I grow, and will grow until I physically can't. I started growing in a place where 4 plants got you a felony with a 5 year minimum 20 year maximum, and I didn't let that stop me. The government will do what ever it wants and so will I.
