For sure it needs to be Marijuana taken off the list of Schedule I substances.

The Federal government is so far behind on this.

Same people who want people smoking pot are the ones who want to ban cigarettes. Both are bad for your health but the former makes you braindead as well and easier to control.

Never touched the stuff and I don’t really care if it’s legalized but it’s pretty clear that the government wants more people on it too keep the populace docile and get votes

Die, Democrat slime.
Try some justice practiced by real lawyers who have morals and an education. Note: This excludes every leftist lawyer.

As a simple, general observation about society, I suspect most people would agree with the basic idea that mental illness is an increasingly large problem. The road rage, the Karens, the Woke, the Transgenders — in so many ways we see people with thought processes that are somewhat skewed.

Is all of it because of cannabis? Certainly not. It would be crazy to say that.
Is none of it because of cannabis? That might be a bold claim. There is at least a little evidence that in some percentage of people, cannabis contributes to the problem of mental illness.

Maybe it is foolish to have it be illegal. But it also seems foolish to have it widely used.

Regardless about how you feel about the detrimental consequences of legal weed. It is wrong to arrest and imprison people for mere possession and use of a freaking plant. Get over it. Leave people alone as long as they aren’t harming others. It’s a liberty issue.

Some States legalized weed by a vote of the people. Others, through their elected legislatures. I’m not sure how “the government” feels about the issue.

All I said is the government should leave people alone. Harmless or not, do you really believe people should do time for possessing and using a plant? Let’s not discuss the other substance, alcohol , which is responsible for more death and misery than weed ever will.
