It should have never been criminalized to start with, you can thank Dumb Ass Conservatives for that. It is very closely related to hops which we all know is used to make the golden ale of the Gods. 

Of course the Extreme Right in the Senate will try and stop it, but it's just a matter of time before it goes through. 

The Extreme Right is Extremally Wrong Again...   

Dear Jetsheep,

I remember being s private in the Army in Germany in 1976.

There was a drug problem in the Army then, ranfging from weed to heroin, snd barbiturates. 
I remember people doing the "Leavenworth shuffle" for dealing drugs, especially the heroine addicts. I remember a guy who fell into a shallow water reservoir on qualudes, and dtown. I remember the guys on the second floor of our barracks who were meth heads with dark circles under their eyes, and sallow skin and gaunt appearances. I remember a guy trying to  torque the "Jesus nut" on a Huey ( using a compound torque wrench) high as a kite (on hashish) slipping and sliding down the lengtht of the main rotor blade he was straddligood.

I remember s few 20 year old "burn outs" who you knew would never amount to anything in life-- they were addicts. Then there were the dudes who functioned well enough on weed, listened to rock music on their reel-to Reel Hi-Fi stereos on the weekend ., biut their world wess pretty small, psychologically speaking, as was their ambitions. 

Look, alcohol is s killer for many, but not for most. Same with weed in my opinion. Not having smoked God"s magic herb in almost FIVE DECADES now myself, I'm glad I never developed tgst particular addiction. Would have limited my mental capacities---The ones I use every day-- 

It looks like you're baked a few too many brain cells yourself over the years, Jetsheep. this has made you a useful idiot in ppolitics for two treasons I suspect-

-1. You don't want criminalized substances which you are addicted too.

2. You have baked your critical  thinking skills-- a classic "Crispy Critter"

Explaines a lot,  Jetsheep.

You are exhibit "a" 

Like alcohol addiction , THC can be addictive and destructive as well,

even if not " illegal" 

But you'll never see that fact

"This is you brain on drugs" get it? 

you're still my favorite 

Useful idiot 

Jett, if you are high, I understand your posts now!  It's your brain on drugs, I get it!

The other day I had a birthday, 9 friends came over for a small get together.  As the night went along the topic of drugs can up.  We spent considerable time coming up with 48 names of people that most of us knew that have ruined their lives and are now dead.  Not exactly a good track record.  Not a lifestyle worth pursuing.

Federal, 'conservative' interest in forbidding cannabis has always been racist.

It is, or was, mainly a Middle Eastern (you know 'sand n1ggers) and Mexican, African American preference. Until, I think, the counter culture became a force in American politics.

Federal deciminalization will take years to effect any state laws. State laws are the tool that prosecuters use.
