It's good that Governors of some States ignore the Feds. Ergo, it's good that freedom loving cannabis enthusiasts ignore prohibitionist Governors, etc.
Laws which violate individual rights should be ignored, ridiculed and massively disobeyed. The only good law is one which protects individual's freedom of choice.
"one has a responsibility to disobey unjust laws." -Martin Luther King Jr. , in letters from the Birmingham jail.

Absolutely agree. We need people to break the laws to help bring about discussion so that bad laws are reformed.

So thankful of all the people who have stood up to let their voices be heard and taken action to help bring about cannabis law reform. Thats God's help.

Also all the people who have purchased hemp derived THC are making a statement by supporting the hemp industry. The lawmakers must take notice when an industry is so large it displays how prevalent cannabis is in society. They know they have to avoid backlash and adverse actions against the public interest and watch out for themselves politically.

Its unbelievable how much they put the race issue forward to gain popularity.

Its interesting Harris is saying as president, she would exercise their executive power to be able to make this change. Thats kind of like a dictatorship. I would rather the president just support the issue and work to organize lawmakers who support reform so that change can occur. That way everyone can be represented in the process and it would work best for our diverse society.

This issue is an interesting one, and it looks like cannabis reform is being used as a power grab by the democrat party.

The issue has been prolonged so much, congress has been unable to hear the issue and come to a consensus. Does the DEA and other agencies have political bias toward the democrat party? Looks like DEA and other agencies FDA and HHS could hold back as much as possible to make the republican party look bad because they want to follow the lawmaking process compared to the democrat party which has some candidates willing to use executive authority to make reforms.

It seems like an assault on our lawful form of government when this goes on for so long, and the agencies continue to prolong the reform process, which allows the democrat party to offer a new system of government, dictatorship and administrative beaurocratic rule.

Harris does say she will work with Congress, but it makes you wonder what she would actually do if in power.

As long as they don't veto. This veto threat has ruined several states hopes of reform as governors hold the line to obey the federal government and the state legislature doesn't even consider the issue to avoid wasting time if the bill will be vetoed by the governor.

Have to admit, the democrats are looking really good on the issue of cannabis reform. They are taking an activist role and it helps our cause.

The Democrat party want to captitalize on the issue by gaining voters and also expanding government in creating new cannabis related commissions and regulatory bodies, more than what a Republican party model of cannabis regulation would likely become.

We don't need any commissions or committees, the legislature needs to have hearings on the floor with the entire assembly, hear testimony from public and private sector and hold a vote on some bills. Is there something I'm missing here?

Not sure why no hearing have been held yet on cannabis reform legislation. There is no requirement for congress to wait for a result from DEA for the rescheduling process before they proceed with hearings and vote to enact cannabis reform legislation.

If the president or governor of a state threatens to veto legislation, the legislators usually choose not to hear those bills to avoid wasting time.

Captain Peter Christ (Ret.) Demolishes the War on Drugs​




Drug policy reform is a core focus of the Law Enforcement Action Partnership. First established as Law Enforcement Against Prohibition in 2002, LEAP was co-founded by Police Captain Peter Christ (Ret.). A 20-year law enforcement veteran of the War on Drugs, Captain Christ has been speaking out to end drug prohibition since 1989. He co-founded LEAP with the mission of reducing harmful consequences resulting from fighting the war on drugs and lessening the incidence of death, disease, crime, and addiction by ending drug prohibition. LEAP thanks Captain Christ for his extraordinary vision - there's no better way to learn about drug policy than to hear it from him!
Watch as Captain Christ demolishes every argument for the War on Drugs in this viral video.

i'm sorry, but...Harris is not the one saying that she wants to be a dictator. The Chump is the one doing that. and the POTUS (of EITHER party) cannot legalize cannabis. they can, however, direct the head of the DEA to lower its listing on the schedules. or, remove it entirely, which is what i would like to see. that would NOT negate state laws though. "new system of government", utter hogwash. :rolleyes: give me a damn break...:snap out of it:

Yeah president has to work with congress. I guess I misunderstood what Harris was saying, but they always make it sound easy to change when they support the issue. She did say it would be "law of the land" if she were elected president.

I've seen the democrat bills for cannabis reform. They are very long and include lots of things that aren't necessary and its makes it difficult to get backing from legislators who are more conservative and want less government involvement in the industry.

the "conservatives" that i have listened to all want "small govt" until it comes to regulating cannabis. same deal with the "states rights" crowd. if a state decides to legalize weed, those same cocksuckers start screaming "but federal law, but federal law". they are all for "states rights" until a state does something they don't like. then, they want DC to punish somebody...

"small govt" until it comes to regulating people's bodies in a lot of ways.
