      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.

          He is NOT interested in legalizing marijuana! He is only interested in giving taking away state’s rights. This argument of his is designed to fool people...and it is.

          The marijuana taxes should definitely go to schools and infrastructure. Let's start investing in the intellect of our youth so that we may grow as a people and help others. Let's make this a good thing.

          My son is 9 with severe autism. His father and I fought for legalization in PA where Autism is a qualifying condition. Families like ours need help. Pharmaceuticals have worked minimally and have bad side effects. The time to legalized nationally is now. #CanabisCures #AutismMom

          Despite greedy senator’s pleas of "no currently accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse", there have been tens of thousands of studies around the world. Keep your bank account AND Monsanto far away!

          Yes!! Decriminalize but you should still need a prescription. People who are unaware of how potent it has become are experiencing physical and mental effects. ✌🏼

          So what about all the men and women (primarily people of color) who are serving prison time for weed? Good start, but we can’t forget about those behind bars while white moms are blogging about their personal bud recommendations
