Watch Chuck Schumer talk about marijuana reform

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) says lawmakers are in the process of merging various marijuana bills, including his own legalization legislation, as the chamber works to enact reform this session.

In an interview on Wednesday night with former NBA player Al Harrington, who owns the cannabis company Viola Brands, Schumer talked about his support for ending federal cannabis prohibition, what he hopes reform to accomplish and the political state of play for marijuana in the early days of the 117th Congress.

Notably, he said “our bill—the bill that I put in—now we’re putting it together with some other bills.”

And this after Vice President Kamala Harris, as Senator Harris, was a prime sponsor of the MORE Act, which would remove marijuana from the Controlled Substances Act. The House passed its version of that bill in December.

Passed it in the house Dec 2020. Didn't get a vote in the Senate. Now they are talking about watering it down.

It's like an argument with someone who won't admit they were wrong in the first place. Instead of repealing it they Making excuses why they can't, trying to justify the ends and the means and the damage they have caused with the CSA, the drug war in general. And for what?

Of course we are closer now than we have been in my lifetime to at least remedying some of it. But I can't help but be bitter over the situation, when I should be rejoicing.

*steps off soapbox*

its a grinding armistice

CERTAINLY no peace, as give

how theyve thrown us to the corperate wolves
made pay for by the consumers looking the other way at grotesque taxes

mother fuckers

the BARE minimum STARTING point of REAL peace

would have been TAX FREE for at least as many years as they war'd on us

and PRIORITY business services for all the little growers so they could iron out a reasonable nitch...

dont be fooled

an élite was grandfathered in with all this

and that would be

counterfieting the labels and bags
that say your flowers have passed all required tests

bling bling...

This is not Legalization, this is Political Regulation.

The best cannabis law is no cannabis law. Why do these pigs rout down on anything to seize more power.

Fuck this makes me furious, and goes back to when I said the same about Medical laws. Everybody was like... "It's a step toward legalization" ..
Well this is what it was a step towards... complete control.

Homegrown will be the new moonshine.

bullshit.

The saddest thing about this is that all it would take would be to rewrite or even tear up the controlled substance act, which is as unscientific and un-American as anything out there. About market and populatoin Control.. not public health or safety. Proof of point not only is Pot Schedule one... Xanax is schedule four... Yeah because there's no chance of addiction there...

But anyway they don't really need to write 200 page bills on the subject - just abolish the CSA.
