TapTheForwardAssist posted:drat NJ is still blue-balling: legal weed is polling 59-37 but the legislative process is going nowhere fast. It just makes no drat sense how something that polls so high and is obvious common sense has such incredible inertia. New Jersey doesn't even have that much of a vocal iron ball of conservative rural nutjobs dragging at its ankle, unlike neighboring Pennsylvania or New York.

What I'm asking is why couldn't they approve it with the amendments and such? If it's got huge popular support, doing so would hurt Democrats in the next election, if they could mess around with the law in all sorts of ways to serve their goals, and they were up against a ticking clock which they can blame all their actions on, why couldn't they just do the dang thing? Who or what was stopping them??

WampaLord posted:It's my understanding that the President could simply deschedule it without any vote needed, simply by telling the head of the FDA "hey take weed off the schedule list" at literally anytime. This is something Obama is going to be more vilified for failing to do as the years go by like how Clinton's welfare reform and sexual assault look more awful by the year. Future generations will not get why this didn't happen.

Obama's administration absolutely did take positive steps and they didn't try to deschedule for real reasons. I'm saying that in 20 years or so when a little of the nuance of our times is lost, people are going to wonder why it didn't happen. I'm saying it's going to reflect poorly on him long term.

Jersey's new law does not allow people to grow their own, even having one plant carries some penalties. You can only legally obtain it in a store, and stores won't exist for years. You can only legally consume it inside on your own property.

The only actual argument the anti-legalisation ghouls have left is "This isn't the weed you smoked 30 or 40 years ago, this is weed that is so strong it's essentially an opiate/psychedelic" And honestly that's a good argument because it feeds into Boomer narcissism and their fear of the present. But it doesn't seem to be taking hold as strongly as they need it to.

Yeah there's still dry counties and things I don't think you're ever going to get WEED LEGAL EVERYWHERE. But all Americans being able to enjoy marijuana in some form in their homes without fear, that's absolutely within the realm of possibility.

https://www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/marijuana-seized-california-billion-drug-bust-illegal-cultivation/ California law enforcement seized 16 tons of weed at an illegal grow op out in the desert. But that's not the most important part of the article, the most important part is this quote: quote:"We're talking about the cartels," Lancaster, California, Mayor Rex Parris said at a Wednesday press conference. "We are not talking about mom and pop people selling marijuana that they grew in their backyard. If the idea of ma and pa wholesomely growing their good ole-fashioned weed is truly here, I'm down for it.

I and a friend were trying to figure out what's the farthest point from any adult-use recreational state in the continental US. How far can you possibly flee from legal weed?? I think Miami, Florida. They think Brownsville, TX. Who is correct?

https://www.marijuanamoment.net/two...ring-next-week/ 63% of Pennsylvanian voters think PA should be adult use recreational legal. If there are actual regulated stores selling to actual retail customers in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania before 2030, I'll eat my hat

Pennsylvania is uniquely bad at doing anything, even compared to its neighbors. The Republicans in the state government are particularly obstructionist and the state government is a slowly shambling bureaucratic nightmare.
