I really hope they end up closer to home brewing beer or winemaking, vs distilled alcohol. You're allowed to brew up to 250 gallons per person per household currently, but nobody really enforces that limit because it's hard to prove when a bottle was brewed if you don't put a label with a year on it.
You are cheering the feds taxing dope and related products. They will never stop, and homegrowing will probably be like moonshine.
Hippies used to want less of the damn guvmint in their lives. Now days, they worship the damn government, praising it whenever it gives them back something that is theirs in the first place. They had no right making cannabis illegal to begin with.
Schedule 4 is actually good news, those type of drugs are not difficult to get a prescription for or heavily regulated. I was worried it would end up lumped with the opiates in Schedule 2. When was the last time you heard about a big ambien bust? Considering how conservative the most powerful lawmakers are it's impressive. There's no way it passes a Republican senate or withstands a Trump veto. It's more a symbolic political maneuver but I expect things to get better in the near future.Schedule 4 is a hazy no-one’s-land filed with depressants like the barbiturates, pain-killers like Darvon and Darvocet, and sleeping pills/soporific like Ambien. MANY of these are prescription-ONLY.
Very true but at least they are forced to vote against it. I have been a life long R voter mainly and I have always been a single issue voter in support of the second amendment, I always figured supporting the constitutional rights TKBA was a bellwether indicator but Im unfortunately going to have to start voting libertarian more. I have in the past and will in the future since the same people run both parties in the background IMO.it seems the only time they pass populous legislation is when they know it won't pass both chambers, house and senate. Pandering is what it is, hot air. They know its dead on arrival.
I hate to be negative but the house lawmakers who passed the bill knew it would not be passed later on in the cycle down at the senate so they voted without caring. It was an empty dead bill. The lawmakers just passed it to let us feel like we won. Don’t be fooled.
