A few red states have legalized it, so politicians would be going against the people they represent if they don't support legalization.

It's realistic, but probably a little while off yet. I'd say early 2030s.

The DEA can de-schedule THC pretty much whenever, but there's still bits of the 1937 Marihuana Tax Act to get out of the way.

Won't matter
junkies are still gonna get stoned daily and ruin their lives instead of getting a job
all that might change is you can now smoke in some designated places

you're a degenerate alcoholic, brutal. shut the fuck up

Seriously his takes on weed are so idiotic I cant even handle the irony.

You gotta be a lost cause to post about booze the way he does and post shit like that about weed. The fact he cant even grasp the hypocrisy of it is amazing.

Im never sure either but it seems genuine to me.

He cant help himself when he sees weed is being discussed. Plus he wouldnt be the first alcohlic I've met who needs to tell himself he's somehow better than a guy who smokes a couple joints after work.

Currently it is far too useful, both as a carrot to dangle in preparation for elections, and as a source of free labor.
It will often be promised, and always delayed until after the next election.
Maybe on a long enough timeline itll be legalized, but probably not until it doesnt matter anymore.

he's probably jealous that weed is so much less harmful than his precious, which is why he lashes out at it every chance he gets.

Either Mississippi or Missouri voted to allow it and then the legislature was like lol no.

But the will of the people and whatnot.

I mean I drink too much myself, but there's definitely no comparison in terms of which is worse.

Few days ago I got hammered, went to bed at 9 and felt like shit dragging my ass out of bed in the morning... then I had a nap as soon as I got back home in the afternoon. Yesterday I got stoned as hell, stayed up till midnight, and woke up feeling great. To say nothing of the longterm damage.

Dude needs to try smoking a couple sometime and maybe he'd chill out on this nonsense

It was Mississippi. Don't know why people here were surprised especially since Republicans are in office and pretty much always will be down here because people are stupid.

I believe it will happen this century. I may not live to see it, depending on when I die. But I predict it will happen before the year 2100

Conservatives will try to drag it out though.. without them it could probably happen within this decade

What does weed feel like
I been using delta 8 thc past 2 months and it only just makes me feel a lil drunk and then really sleepy everytime. So i just use it to help me sleep. Is weed more stimulating like alcohol?

People whose morality is based on legality are disgusting.

I only ever did it once as a teenager. And I don't think I got high. Never touched it again, partly cause I never had another opportunity. And partly cause I hated the smell and the burning in my lungs. If I ever did it again I would do edibles maybe. But I hate smoking

There definitely needs to be something. You cant expect them to screw over the prison industry without making up their money somewhere. Not to mention the pharmaceutical companies.

Try to to see it from their perspective. That will be a lot less money coming in to them from some very big donors. Boats arent cheap. Have a little compassion.
