Alright.
So after the midterms, if the Democrats win the congress in full, let's see if they start introducing some serious bills.

If they do much props. Let's not just talk about it, let's be about it.

I mention after the midterms because we know right now his bill ain't going up for a vote. So it's easy to do this when you know it realistically isn't going anywhere like the Repubs did with numerous Obamacare appeals for symbolism to their base and know it would be shut down by Obama but shyt the bed when they had actual power.

But I do like how he laid out a case which makes me believe he is more sincere than Republicans were with their Obamacare stunts

Well, if they win the House then they better introduce some serious legislation. :ufdup:

Not sure how likely it is to happen, if only because I still think the GOP will probably keep the Senate, so it'd depend on whether any GOP senators would be on board.

I'd be shocked if Rand Paul wasn't on board. Same with the Republican Senator from Colorado Cody Gardner

:mjgrin:

Democratic lawmakers are seeking to legalize marijuana.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer announced on Thursday he is planning to introduce a bill to remove marijuana from the list of federally controlled substances.

Schumer's bill comes on the heels of two bills introduced in the House and Senate — dubbed the Marijuana Justice Act — which would go further than Schumer's bill by fully legalizing marijuana at the federal level and expunging convictions for marijuana use or possession.

The House version of the Marijuana Justice Act, introduced by Reps. Barbara Lee and Ro Khanna of California and sponsored by 12 House Democrats, is a companion to Sen. Cory Booker's Marijuana Justice Act, introduced in the Senate last year.

Sen. Bernie Sanders, a top contender for the Democrats 2020 nomination, signed on to Booker's bill on Wednesday.

Beyond removing marijuana from the Controlled Substances Act list, both the House and Senate bills propose going a step further to provide "restorative justice" to communities disproportionately affected by marijuana arrests and convictions and create an "inclusive industry from the ground up," Lee said in a call with reporters in January.

Lee called the legislation "a bold proposal to reverse decades of discriminatory drug enforcement and to bring federal marijuana policy in line with the wishes of the American people."
