      THREAD: It’s official. Today, I am formally announcing my plan to decriminalize marijuana at the federal level. It’s time we allow states, once and for all, to have the power to decide what works best for them.

      I have long believed that states should function as their own laboratories of democracy. My bill is a step in the right direction aimed at removing the barriers to state legalization efforts.

      So why have I changed my stance? Looking at the numbers helped. 2/3 of Americans believe marijuana should be legalized, meanwhile more than half of all drug arrests in the United States are marijuana arrests. (https://www.aclu.org/gallery/marijuana-arrests-numbers …)

          And under existing law, the federal government considers marijuana as dangerous as heroin and treats it less favorably than cocaine. That has to change.

          In addition to decriminalization, my bill will invest critical resources into the THC research needed to prevent unintended effects on our youth and ensure highway safety.

          You changed your stance because of white people making it into a sustainable business model. Free people of color incarcerated for marijuana related charges.

          Of course they are. And big pharma has every intention of taking over the pot trade in this country.

          what (if any) action will you be taking for those serving exorbitant prison sentences for pot related offenses?

          Sir, I sincerely hope that you are doing this out of a true awakening of the injustices committed against people of color and partakers of a herb and not out of perceived political necessity. I will give you the benefit of the doubt for now.

          Right, I have taught in 2 prisons & many serving time were on drug charges. Privatization of our prison system is a problem...the more inmates, the more money they make.

          You should look at the numbers on single payer health care, gun reform, taxation, public education, military spending, and Israel/Palestine to name a few, if that’s how you feel about numbers.

          Whatever proposed bill must ensure that it is retroactive; people with previous drug charges and incarcerated should be released.

          Better propose a separate bill outlawing private prisons so they divert their funds to fighting that. Also: outlaw private prisons.

          So your original position was blindly held without looking at numbers? Doesn't speak much to your capabilities or intelligence. Or was money doing your talking?

          You changed your stance because it’s popular, you have no political price to pay and you know it won’t pass.

          It would Reduce opioid addiction immediately if it were legal. The THC should not be manipulated to reduce the pleasure. What is individual freedom anymore? Why not change alcohol so it doesn’t get you drunk. So silly. Sure, so some strains are better without the THC for pain.
