BREAKING NEWS: House votes to legalize weed

[somdcomputerguy]

The House passed a bill Friday that would remove federal penalties on marijuana, the first time either chamber of Congress has voted to loosen restrictions on marijuana since a ban was imposed in 1970. The bill passed by a vote of 228 to 164. At least five Republicans voted for the bill and six Democrats voted against it.

The bill, the MORE Act, also would erase some federal marijuana criminal records, create grant programs for people or communities affected by the federal crackdown on illicit drug use and regulate and tax cannabis production, among other things.

Oh, this is nice I must say I mean for my family who are medical mj users.

IDK about the senate, but like we are sort of groaning under the sort of Federal deficit that makes politicians weep blood etc.

I think that it may well go through, as I wonder if BT and BP are interested in it being passed so that they can increase their profit margins further.

As that'll definitely be the motivating factor, and a few small large contributions.

Not holding my breath on this one. But it's coming, just a matter of when.
