Harris says she backs legalizing marijuana, going further than Biden - eviltoast

As a medical user, I really hope she will stick to this if elected. Trump is doing more “leave it up to the states” bullshit except specifically for Florida and no other state.

    In before it gets legalized federally and then some republican states start spouting states rights and continue to arrest people that are following the law.

      That is actually the current argument being made for weed legalization. “This isn’t a federal issue, California has every right to make the consumption of canabis legal in their state!” Harris’ legalization would make it legal in states that do not have a set restriction, as well as allow federal employees, such as soldiers, to consume it in legal states.

      You can already see this with legalization in Germany and right-wing controlled Bavaria. I am not sure right now how far they are going, but they are not happy with this and at least try to make consumption as uncomfortable as possible.
