It’s likely that Joe Biden has never smelled weed, let alone smoked it. We wouldn’t recommend it — but it’s absolutely absurd that a naturally occurring plant on which no human has overdosed remains a Schedule I narcotic in America. It should be legalized immediately and turned over to the States for regulation. Across the country, we have seen legalization sweep red and blue states. It’s been approved by state legislatures and voters alike. And it’s time we treat it differently at the federal level. Dean made the point this week that it’s awfully hypocritical that you can drink to excess at night and report to work in his White House. But if you ate a gummy and it was discovered, you’d be fired and maybe even imprisoned. It’s 2023 and our cannabis policies still reflect last century’s thinking. It’s time we change that. Would you donate $42.00 to turn the page? So many lives have been hurt by these harmful policies — and it’s time we turn the page. With 70% percent of Americans supporting cannabis leadership, per a recent Gallup poll, including 55% percent of Republicans and 87% percent of Democrats. |
