(2,679 posts)And totally not to be a debbie downer here but there are three huge problems that would have to be solved before weed is ever made legal and is decriminalized on the federal level.
1. Laws and Law Enforcement. There is money in the war on drugs, from grants to police and state, local and federal law enforcement agencies. Not to mention prisons. Also weed is a drug like booze. And until law enforcement as some type of procedure to determine (for lack of better word), sobriety, (maybe a high test), legalizing weed will go no where.
2. Big Pharmaceutical Cartel. They own the patten on thc. Which is stupid much like many other pattens they own that are really the property of mother earth. They want you to pay $200 per pill not $20-80 a 1/4 ounce. And they want you to pay it to them not anyone else.
3. The Drug Cartels. They are making tons of money and legalizing it in the US will hurt their bottom line so they won't let this happen without being heard.
Trust me I am a huge supporter of legalizing weed. I will continue to support leagizing it. I hope other states will get it on their ballots. I hope people will as time passes change their 1920's racist reasons for being anti drug attitude.
If CO and WA weren't so damn cold I'd move there.
