Cannabis Legalization

[bobabode]

"Surrounded by dozens of cheering people in green clothes, Minnesota Democratic Gov. Tim Walz signed a bill Tuesday to legalize recreational marijuana for people over the age of 21, making Minnesota the 23rd state to legalize the substance for adults.

“This has been a long journey with a lot of folks involved,” Walz said.

Among them was one of the first governors in the U.S. to openly support marijuana legalization.

“For me personally, it’s very wonderful to see a dream of yours over 20 years ago finally happen today, and I’m still alive to see it,” said Jesse Ventura, Minnesota's governor from 1999-2003.

Under the new law, cannabis will be legal by Aug. 1 to possess, use and grow marijuana at home. Possession of cannabis flower will be limited to 2 pounds (0.9 kilos) at home and 2 ounces (56 grams) in public. Other possession caps include 800 milligrams of THC in gummies and other edibles and 8 grams of cannabis concentrate."

HHS recommends cannabis be lowered to Schedule 3 in a letter to the DEA.
That would be a step in the right direction.

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.

Someone needs to be told.

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.
