Possible U.S. Federal Legalization of MJ coming!

[MrPNW]

I kept reading the news on Biden and Schumer’s (new Senate majority leader) stance on pot and it sounded promising. I just got Seedsman’s blog on this, thought I’d share.

8 Dec 2020
US HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES VOTES TO DECRIMINALISE CANNABIS

7 Jan 2021
WILL THE DEMOCRAT-CONTROLLED SENATE LEGALISE CANNABIS?


Oh please, please make it happen!

I don't think it is going to be first on the list. With the economy and Covid needing the focus, they would be a bit silly to push cannabis to the front of the line. I do have hope and I do think odds are better now than they ever have been, but I think we might have to wait a year or so before we get some meaningful changes. Hopefully they realize the revenue potential from the taxes and they just legalize It nationally to help recover from the economic fallout and borrowing we are currently in.

[MrPNW]

As you’ve stated, the one thing always pushing agendas forward, is money. Once they figure out how they to can get their fingers in the pot (haha pun works) they will legalize it just like the states. WA state is raking in the bucks and with covid and the crashed economy the taxes really help. I bet Amazon wishes they could sell pot.
When it comes to hard times people people rarely give up their vices (rec users) and often increase use. The recreational side of things will drive it forward.

[ChadWestport]

Man, if Amazon sold pot.........

[Puglover1]

Amazon plans to sell it if/when they can. The current admin is wanting to stop private prisons, this would be a good starting point to reduce the massive amount of incarcerated people in our country. They sure have a lot on their plate, be easier if certain places would get higher vax rates. The tax on rec during the shutdown really helped legal states survive. But then we send more to the fed to support the states who take much more than they give. If we had another civil war it should be the stoner states vs the rednecks.

[MaesterSeymour]

It's the step in the right direction but I do not have high hopes for it.

[Rwise]

I think it can happen as we need the tax dollars to recover from C19, we have spent a lot of money that must be replaced, what better way to do it than take the money from the mob?
I am looking forward to interstate business, export Oklahoma grown medical to other states and import from them, or even to and from world wide locations.
And my biggest question is what will it do to states medical laws?

[Anansi]

I've had the pleasure of consuming some of Oklahoma's finest. Not sure how it made it into Arkansas, but I was appreciative.

[Eliot Pryor]

Common sense will eventually prevail. They are not going to pass up all that money. Entire bureaucracies are in danger of losing their jobs. It will be a long hard battle.

[Xena]

Biden’s stance on EVERYTHING depends on what way the wind blows. Look up all the crap he’s been a part of that got people locked up for years. While you’re at it look up how many people his idiot VP put in prison for weed.

[Xena]

I’m right there with ya on the BP @SoOrbudgal......luckily I take 3 different BP daily. 😁

[MrPNW]

Maybe that’s why she’s now pushing so hard to legalize pot. Maybe regrets her past. I’ve made many mistakes in my youth without thinking it threw.

[Puglover1]

I agree MrPNW Sure glad some stuff I did 40+ years ago isn't haunting me as the world constantly evolves.

[Damngrower]

Not jealous.....😣

[SoOrbudgal]

SOS SOS govt. assistance comin at a theater near you soon.

[Xena]

I’m from the government and I’m here to help.
The 9 scariest words. As true today as the day Ronny said em.

[ChadWestport]

SOS SOS govt. assistance comin at a theater near you soon.

literally, movie theaters be closing all over the country. Not sad though, streaming is a much better business model.

[PLreef]

Andrew Cuomo came to today and said he push to have adult recreational MJ in NY. CT needs to get on board!!

[SoOrbudgal]

Cow Moo needs to go

[Rwise]

It will be worth watching to see how this plays out, and how it will affect current state laws.

Nice article MrPNW but I had an epiphany moment while reading it and hearing about who they put in head of the DNC. The epiphany is that nothing will happen until right around the next election, in regards to federal legalization. I think it will be the trump card (no pun intended) to getting just a few more voters if they need a last minute push to put them over the edge. I can see legislation like banking passing, but federal legalization, I think that will be held until they need to pull it out to win favor...... which kind of sucks.

[JDU]

This scares the shit outta me.
if mj is legalized it will be on the same level as alcohol & tobacco. & big pharma/business will lobby for a monopoly thus reviving the outlaw homegrower.

[alltatup]

When it's legalized everywhere, I'm still gonna grow as an outlaw. I refuse to have my green thumb regulated, administrated or licensed.

[TOKABIGONE]

I'm right with you JDU and alltatup! And just like my guns; when they come for them, they can have them when they pry them from my COLD, DEAD FINGERS!

[buffalobuds]

Thats when you get ahold of your state rep's that support cannabis to not let that happen. And dod it again and again and again..........Peace

[Rwise]

I have a batch of shine brewing now, many bottles of wine, and some nice stout beers (all grain of course), weed in the grow room (and jars full), the garden is being readied.
There is another card in play that cant be overlooked, we need to pay back all the money (cash food meds etc.) that has been handed out during this pandemic. Weed may play a roll in the payback.

[SoOrbudgal]

Oregon is already to increase beer and wine they have gone nuts. Buy hotels for homeless, relaxing on rents so the now squaters can live indefinetly no one can get them out. Govt does not fix anything just keeps saying BS while our own citizens lack clean water, enough affordable housing. All it seems like they want you to be dependant not independant this is the old is new WH. Worse yet to come from what i'm seeing. Half dead, demented old WH, run by sicko perverts inside and out. Blame those that have sat in there 50yrs

[Puglover1]

After we pay back the trillions that the wealthy got tax breaks for that are good until 2025? If you can own your own plane you don't need a tax break for it, IMO.
