IT'S BEEN 4 FUCKING YEARS since we got medical and there is like no where to go in mass for that. Now they are trying to half the number of plants one can have in their house, lower the amount of possession, roll back the time scale from early next year to maybe even 2019. it's bullshit. And yes it's majorly hypocritical for the trump admin to care about "states rights" on some issues but not care about states rights when it comes to legalization.

    also obama and his thugs were busting down doors too. i really don't get the holdup on marijuana these days. The DEA making it schedule 1 is a fucking joke. There is no logical reason I can think of at this point other than it puts more people in cells for the for profit prison industry. police lobbyists and prison lobbyist must really have them by the balls
    and you will continue to have this result while you still vote democrat OR republican
    A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.

    I've been wondering why people clamor to pay higher prices for weed in shops? The novelty?

    Actually, it's very relevant. The Feds took years to allow banks to do business with MJ shops. The IRS has yet to allow shops to take standard business deductions.
    That will all make it almost impossible for shops to stay in business if the banks are once again denied access to the industry.

    Do not misrepresent my views. I am a strong proponent of federalism,and federalism gave us
    "the states are the laboratories of change" ,and that gave us legal weed.

    It's the old and thoroughly discredited gateway drug theory.

    Except there are a lot of purple states where large majorities do care and even in a lot of deep red States the majority of people are pro pot.

    If it weren't for the states, there would be no medical/legal weed.
    It took a long time but organizations like NORMAL put on suits, put away the bhongs,and lobbied, lobbied
    the states governments. It paid off.

    They lobby in DC too -but no one in DC is responsive to anyone not in the elite power structure
