Federal: NEW Measure Introduced To Reschedule Marijuana

[PatrickforO]

17. YES!!!

Removal from Schedule 1 is the first step in a happy and hopefully short legalization process that will end this stupid prohibition once and or all. How much have we spent on the war on drugs so far? Over $1 TRILLION since the days of Nixon, according to CNN.

And what has it done for us? Subsidized vicious drug cartels. Allowed big banks to profit from laundering money. Bloated our law enforcement 'community' into an uber-militarized group more into control than common sense. And let's not forget the private prisons - a COMPLETE conflict of interest.

Yep, plenty of people have made lots of money and in the meantime hundreds of thousands of our fellow Americans have had their lives ruined (did you know that someone convicted of a drug offense is NOT ELIGIBLE for federal financial aid for college???) - which has inordinately affected minorities.

There has been NOTHING good for the American people whatsoever about the war on drugs. We lost it the day it started.

Of course, ending it will cost the CIA a sure-fire funding stream - because they get plenty of profit from drug operations.

How did America become what it has become?
