MixMasterMalaria posted:I haven't been to DC for a few months, but the pop ups were everywhere and featured dozens of vendors openly selling all forms of flower, concentrate, and edibles. Reddit groups for vendor meetups and numerous delivery services operating with just the fig leaf of 'donate for this product, comes with free weed' were also the order of the day. I like to imagine what the briefings are like about this at MPD. Do they just roll their eyes a lot, are they really spun-up about it, or is there some basic "yeah whatever, bust two of them a month just on principle, not even worth trying to tackle more of them."

Reminder that Oklahoma is voting a ballot initiative on MMJ in June, and polling from January is looking promising:quote:Forty-five percent of those questioned said they strongly support an upcoming state question that would legalize medical marijuana, and 17 percent said they somewhat support it.

Gov LePage in Maine tried to veto legal weed again, but the legislature overruled his veto, so Maine is finally back on track to fully legalize. The bill that the legislature finally came to support is more conservative than the initial ballot question, so doesn't allow social clubs, and limits plants to 3 instead of 6. They expect to have their first legal commercial sales in spring 2019. https://www.pressherald.com/2018/05/02/house-overturns-lepage-veto-on-recreational-marijuana-bill/

The Marianas islands, a US territory in the Pacific, passed a weed legalization bill in its Senate which now goes to the House: https://www.saipantribune.com/index.php/senate-oks-marijuana-bill/ Both CNMI and Guam have been teetering on the edge of Legalization for a while, partially because they're tourist destinations for Asia and could totally clean up selling Japanese tourists overpriced pre-rolls. As a minor side note, another US Pacific territory, American Samoa, has the harshest weed laws of anywhere in the US.

Teriyaki Hairpiece posted: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. One of the prevailing theories is that support for legal weed is "broad but not deep", and that the majority of pro-weed folks are unlikely to change their vote over it either way, so inertia is the safest move. There are some good think pieces online of why politicians are so gunshy about this. Then you also have plenty of old-school drug warriors ensconced in the senior Dem hierarchy, notably Feinstein who literally won't endorse what her own state has already done. I'm honestly surprised the GOP hasn't made more moves to steal this ball from the Dems, which almost happened in 2016 when Hillary was being a stick in the mud while half the GOP hopefulls were supporting states rights for legal states.

Michigan GOP has been talking for a month about just legalizing weed in the legislature, since it's expected to pass by ballot in November anyway. But if it passes in the legislature, they can make much stricter rules and also avoid the issue being a vote driver for the Dems in the mid-term. The largest anti-weed group in MI is actually pushing for the legislature option, since they see the writing on the wall for November, so they'd prefer a stricter legislature solution. That said, the GOP has dicked around and argued too much about this proposal, and they only have until 5 June to make it happen. So probably legal will get approved by a landslide in November.

Trump kinda vaguely supports rescinding the federal ban on grass:quote:“I support Sen. Gardner,” Trump said when asked about the bill. “I know exactly what he’s doing. We’re looking at it. But I probably will end up supporting that, yes.” r/T_D is going apeshit saying this is a Master Troll move to steal the issue from the Dems and get all the stoners and minorities to vote for Trump. In fairness, I think the Dems are dumb as gently caress if they let the GOP steal this issue from under them, as almost happened in 2016 since 3/4 of the GOP candidates were all "states rights" on weed yet HRC kept up her drug warrior stance.
