South Carolina Republican introduces bill to decriminalize marijuana at federal level
2021-11-16
[NBC] Rep. Nancy Mace, a first-term Republican from South Carolina, introduced a bill Monday to decriminalize cannabis at the federal level, which she hopes will garner more GOP support for the legalization movement.

"This legislation, I believe, has something good for everyone, whether you're a Democrat or a Republican," Mace told reporters outside the Capitol, where she introduced her States Reform Act.

Even though it is legal in 18 states, with medical use permissible in 37 states, marijuana is illegal under federal law.

#8  Trafficking / smuggling / financing are where the violence is.

Over taxing brings you right back there.

#7  Over the past 10 years, possession of marijuana has been a Federal Crime with essentially no enforcement.

So this is, in practical terms, a no impact bill.

#6  If they are going to catch and release arsonists and school shooters there's no reason for anyone to be in jail for possession of marijuana. Trafficking / smuggling / financing are where the violence is.

#5  There honestly is no justification whatsoever for having it on Schedule 1.

#4  I'm for it. The feds and police have become to militarized and stomped on too many people's rights over this.

#1  Why not?

Universal Basic Income.
Kids masked and staring at screens 12 hours a day including a cornucopia of addictive social media junk & pr0n.
An opioid epidemic that's killing and destroying the lives of millions.

What's a bit of reefer on top of all this dystopia?
