Joe advocating federally legalizing weed is on-brand

[haie]

There hasn't been a single negative outcome from legalizing weed in the state of Washington, except maybe with the initial implementation where a few people were essentially handed lottery tickets to make bank off of it. Even then, it's leveled out and become competitive, provided all sorts of jobs with no upfront skills required. Edible weed is a massive health alternative to a dumb fuck doctor trying to pump you full of pills for auto-immune diseases and all sorts of shit.

Anyone who associates its legalization with the drug epidemic or thinks there will be a massive crime boost from it just needs to go move to a religious dry county somewhere.

The alternative with weed is that either its legal and taxed or it is illegal not taxed and the profit goes to the Cartels and makes national forests dangerous. I much preferred to deal with stoners than the idiots that were angry drunks. It ain't coke and definitely not heroin, meth or fentanyl.
I volunteered for the Army on my birthday
They drafted the white trash first, around here anyway
I done two tour's of duty in Vietnam
I came home with a brand new plan
I take the seed from Colombia and Mexico
I just plant it up the holler down Copperhead Road
And now the D.E.A's got a chopper in the air
I wake up screaming like I'm back over there
I learnt a thing or two from Charlie, don't you know
You better stay away from Copperhead Road

You're white washing reality, but I understand your point and generally agree that it's better off being regulated.

I'll go for legalization but no medical marijuana BS tax exemption. Tax it like alcohol and tobacco. Also stricter laws on driving under the influence.

Not the appropriate thread but our DUI laws were made to assume that no one can hold 3-5 beers or a joint and drive safely which is beyond fucking stupid.

Should be a state issue. The reschedule is fine with me. I was just pointing out that Joe was adamantly against marijuana for decades because of Hunter (probably Ashley too since she’s also an addict) but now it’s a Hail Mary to get votes so one of the few factual principles Joe’s stood upon is thrown out the window for votes.
He’s a very week person who would crumble if Trump’s DOJ and state allies were prosecuting him in multiple locations.

The problem is the experienced and inexperienced have vastly different tolerance levels. Huge difference between a functional heavy drinker and some one who imbibes rarely. Clean up their messes enough times and watch people die or get badly injured you'll change your mind.

5 beers and driving? This guy is getting a DUI at some point.

Who said that I drive after that many beers?
I said that the law is fucktarded. Because it is.

Yeah, I don't disagree with the policy change but notice he didn't do it year 1 he did it in a desperate move in an election year.
This is the same as dangling student loan forgiveness. If it actually gets done they lose it as a voting issue.

Until they clean up banking for cannabis, it’s still the Wild West.

Lot of growers have a front door business and a back door distribution business through street dealers.

So Joe still hasn’t done shit.

Plus cross country trafficing to illegal states…

I mean that's probably by design with the dems.

I know retail mj Guysm who are set to make out well because they can finally write off business expenses.

Imagine paying well over 60% in taxes.

At the border shops, it's 99% idaho plates. .. for some reason Idaho prefers to let Washington get that revenue. Sure they nail people with felonies for a fucking pen and get revenue that way, but it's crap.

This must be his speech for legalizing weed. He's baked!
