Cannabis Legalization

[Oerets]

You know if asked ME back in the 70's pot would be legal by now.......

Yes across the whole USA I would of said "Hell Yes"!


Still do not understand why pot and psycho's are not legal by now everywhere.

Trust me in this they are not addictive to most. Less so the cigarettes alcohol and pain meds have so effectively shown to be.

Authentic libertarians think it's nobody's business what sort of substances anybody might choose to put into their bodies (as did the founders). They also think pregnancy termination is nobody's business but a woman and her doctor. They also think discussions between 12 year olds and their social worker/counselor are nobody else's business, and that includes the kid's parents. They think who is having gender reassignment surgery is nobody else's business.

Just gives one a pretty good idea of how many authentic libertarians there are among us.

New York's cannabis board votes to settle lawsuits that have stalled legal dispensaries -AP

NEW YORK (AP) — New York cannabis regulators approved a deal on Monday to settle lawsuits that have blocked recreational marijuana dispensaries from opening, as officials move to restart the state's troubled legal market.

The settlement still needs a judge's approval before it can take effect. The state's Cannabis Control Board did not immediately release the terms of the settlement.

The deal would lift a court order that has blocked the state from processing or issuing retail marijuana licenses since August, following lawsuits over rules that promised many of the first licenses to people with past drug convictions.
New York's retail marijuana market has been in disarray since sales began almost a year ago. Bureaucratic problems and lawsuits have allowed only about two-dozen legal shops to open, while farmers sit on a glut of crops and an ever-growing black market of storefronts fill the void.

The New York State Cannabis Control Board said more than 400 provisional retail licensees will be able to move forward with their stores if the settlement is approved by a judge. Regulators also recently opened up a general application window to grow, process, distribute or sell marijuana, expecting to issue more than 1,000 new licenses in a bid to kickstart the market.

About time New York. Smoke 'em if you've got them, puff puff.

At its core, libertarianism is just just a common man appeal subterfuge for plutocracy. Follow the money and see who benefits, and who doesn't from it.

I have always found it quaint and rather touching that there is a movement [Libertarians] in the US that thinks Americans are not yet selfish enough.
