Senate Democrats have filed a bill to federally legalize marijuana, a far-reaching proposal that comes as the Trump administration is moving ahead with a more incremental reform to reschedule cannabis.The Cannabis Administration and Opportunity Act (CAOA), which is also being led by Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ), Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Sen. Ron Wyden, along with other Democratic senators, would remove cannabis from the Controlled Substances Act (CSA), a process known as “descheduling.”It would also create a pathway for people to get their prior criminal sentences for cannabis reduced and expunged while restoring access to housing, jobs and civil rights that they may have lost.The legislation would additionally apply a federal tax on marijuana and use some of the revenue to create a Department of Justice Cannabis Justice Office that would manage a fund to support job training, reentry and legal aid for people from communities harmed by prohibition.“For decades, generations have suffered unjustly under the failed War on Drugs and broken cannabis laws—hurting primarily people of color. It is long overdue that we stand up for them,” Booker said in a press release. “I am proud to reintroduce this commonsense legislation, which will dismantle the unjust and outdated federal marijuana prohibition, establish a federal regulatory framework to protect public health and safety, expunge past convictions for low-level cannabis offenses, and deliver restorative justice to the communities most harmed by decades of failed drug policy.”“Our legislation is the most comprehensive proposal on the books to end federal cannabis prohibition while keeping public health and safety front and center,” he said. “The federal government needs to get with the times, and our bill is the way to do it.”>https://www.marijuanamoment.net/senate-democrats-file-bill-to-fully-legalize-marijuana-under-federal-law-as-trump-moves-to-merely-reclassify-it/
first good thing they've done since starting the KKK
>>539062469Remember when we win the democrats want you high on marijuana, dependent on universal income, and hooked on tranny porn, and they think it's funny.
>>539062469Based
>>539062469Hopefully the jobs will continue drug testing especially in transportation.
>>539062469based
>>539062469Fun part is, Dems will go full legalization. Future astronauts will go "It's LEGAL" and start smoking anywhere and everywhere, and get arrested for the dumb shit that follows it.
>>539064916all planes and heavy equipment should be equipped with breathalyzers then as well, since tests shows more recency of use for that
>but not cocainewake me up when something actually happens
>>539062469bout time but i could love Americans if they destroy they 1971 treaty that uk signed up too.. and it would be under the act of sanctions of uk proceed to criminalize its use or possession.th stigma destroyed many lives including my own.
>>539065210They already give semi-monthly drug tests to commercial pilots and heavy equipment drivers already. Both have zero tolerance for weed usage for any reason at any time. Fail one test and they never work in the industry again.
>>539062469knew a long hyphen would come…Cory in the house.
>>539064003Sounds better than all the dogshit the republicucks have been dishing out lately
>>539065210I'm not sure if that was intended to be an "own" but as someone who doesn't drink either I'm fine with putting breathalyzers on everything too... but what I'd really like to see is all the pajeets and other foreign trash kicked out of the country along with the Jews that brought them in. >>539065794Good, same for the mechanics I believe.
>>539062469I hope it fails, potheads are every bit as insufferable as israel/palestine shills. Feds should bomb every marijuana state and deny all federal aid to states that legalized this garbage in any form.
