Lawmakers rally together in an effort to end federal marijuana prosecutions
So i’ve heard of tihs for a bit now but yesterday I wasn’t feeling very well so I didn’t do much of anything (sorry gregg & loli, I know a call would’ve sufficed)
Lamkaers in MA, TX, NY, CA, and WI will re-introduce legislation to limit the federal governments authority to arrest and prosecute minor marijuana offenders.
In what has been titled an ” Act to Remove Federal Penalties for Personal Use of Marijuana by Responsible Adults,” the lawmakers seek to have the fucking crazy federal penalties for personal possession of up to 100 grams of cannabis as well as the penalties for the not-for-profit transfer of up to 1 ounce eliminated. This would then pass the prosecution duties directly to the states, giving them them option to also modify their laws.
With the passage of this initiative many avenues for possible legal alternatives to tax and regulate marijuana like any other commodity become open. Looks like real change is upon us. I can only wait to see what the future will bring, but right now i’m hungry, fuckin mnchies.
