Liberal caucus proposes decriminalization of illegal drug use, simple possession

Oh, now we're definitely building a wall.

I’m for legalization. I just don’t see weed as a problem. What does her love for Jesus and hatred of criminals have to do with anything. I love Jesus and hate Criminals as well. In fact over 50% of the nation believe in God and Jesus. I bet over 95% have a deep hatred of criminals. Most Christians are not crazy, apparently she is.

I thought the context of what I quoted was clear. I apologize that I was not. Her love for Jesus will ensure that she wins every election, in spite of her ignorance and citing fake news.

Cause that's why people elect republicans,

Cause Jesus.

Chuck Schumer to introduce bill to decriminalize marijuana at the federal level.

https://www.cnn.com/2018/04/19/politics/schumer-marijuana/index.html

"I'll be introducing legislation to decriminalize marijuana at the federal level from one end of the country to the other," the New York Democrat told Vice News. "The legislation is long overdue."

Schumer, the Senate minority leader, told Vice that he had "seen too many people's lives ruined because they had small amounts of marijuana and served time in jail much too long."

I just want to smack Mark Woodward on most days. Or any day. He and Sessions are cut from the same cloth.

I don't have a problem with them upping the search for impaired drivers. Be it alcohol or weed, folks need to not drive impaired.

In better news...

https://www.npr.org/2018/04/20/6041...-to-introduce-bill-to-decriminalize-marijuana

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., plans to introduce legislation on Friday to decriminalize marijuana on the federal level, adding a high-profile advocate in the effort to decriminalize, legalize and normalize marijuana use in America.

Schumer's legislation would remove marijuana from the list of scheduled substances under a 1970 law that classifies marijuana as dangerous as heroin for legal and regulatory purposes.

No offense taken. I'm from La. I'm only here because of the great demographics of the area we opened our business 12 1/2 years ago.

It is cheap to live but whether I stay after I retire remains to be seen.

What I would like to see is how many successful prosecutions for weed-impaired driving that result from it, compared to a similar alcohol checkpoint.

Now, with funding from the National Institutes of Health, Blessing and group of collaborators are about to begin a clinical trial to test whether CBD can help people with post-traumatic stress disorder who also have moderate or severe alcohol use disorder.

During the study, 50 participants with PTSD coexisting with alcohol use disorder will be given either 400 milligrams of CBD daily, or a placebo. The goal is to see if the participants who take CBD end up drinking less and whether this leads to an improvement in PTSD symptoms. The participants will be given a pharmaceutical-grade CBD, which is more reliable in strength and purity than the supplements that are currently available for sale to the public.

Another Phase 2 clinical trial (to test efficacy and side effects) is exploring whether CBD might help prevent relapse in opioid abusers by reducing craving for the drug. The study's led by Yasmin Hurd, a neuroscientist who directs the Addiction Institute at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine.

The disclaimer at the bottom is facepalm worthy....
Especially the part that says BRPD can opt to use state law... They want to lessen the penalties, except when they don't want to?
