Cannabis

Even if that's just using the bully pulpit to say what scientists have known for a long time, namely it's not nearly as dangerous as alcohol, by pretty much any yardstick. And admitting he smoked it, and it didn't destroy his brain. (clearly)

But if you want me to defend the raids in CA, I'm not going to do it. I've supported legalization for years, and I believe more than ever that it's the right way to go. And you are correct, CO had a much more rigorous system in place as opposed to the loosey-goosey deal CA set up back in '96 with prop. 215. (although I've always had a sneaking suspicion that CO's status as a swing state was at least an ancillary player) But now they've -CA that is- updated their law, and hopefully they'll fully legalize in November anyway, so it will become moot.

However, this thread- specifically, the topic of this thread- has to do with the track record of the current head of the DNC, who not only voted against prohibiting the feds from interfering with state med. marijuana laws and patients, but also actively worked to defeat a medical marijuana initiative in Florida in 2014, and not too coincidentally the story in the OP is about a woman who arguably is a medical marijuana patient, facing 10 years for growing pot in her own house in Florida, also in 2014.

Also, contrary to what some people who have wandered in here from the greatest page seem to think (damn, that's gotta be a first) this thread doesn't have anything to do with the primaries OR DWS's track record around Bernie Sanders. She had the medical marijuana establishment in Florida well and pissed off at her long before he announced his run.


It's pretty simple and straightforward.
