Just another reason we need to destroy the entire Republican party, or render them functionally incapable of fucking with things.

and right not the bad" right" but the good" right" and who voted against the bill??/
Don’t kid yourself. Its entirely a pro business vote. Marijuana is starting to attract Very Serious Money People. Republicans are shifting on this issue incredibly quickly,nation wide.
I doubt even many republicans could keep a straight face and say they are all about being anti-government on marijuana after close to a century of waging war on the weed. But they can spin the pro business aspect.

True. Industrial Hemp has a big future, even more than recreational weed.

I think its simpler than strategy, actually. Big Money wants to start planning for the Marijuana Business. And one of the first things that needs to happen is to buy the necessary lawmakers to start moving towards legalization.
The medical marijuana bills that are starting to crop up (no pun intended) are really about states priming the production for the eventual legalization. Build up the means for mass production first, then legalize.
My guess is that within 10 years, marijuana is legal and sold in convenience stores in nearly every state.
Its rather ironic, actually. Georgia just passed a medical marijuana law here recently…it breezed through the Legislature so quickly it was stunning. The iron of course is because Georgia was key in gettiing marijuana criminalized in the first place. Hemp was much cheaper and easier to grow than cotton, so black farmers took to growing it. The cotton folks didn’t much like that, so the put the pressure on. Now…here we are trying to overturn those laws so we can get a leg up on growing hemp…again.

Rohrbacher. Hero.
Crap! The GOP IS good for something?
I think somewhere very hot just got an ice rink…
Federal government still classifies pot as a schedule I drug. They think its more dangerous than cocaine, OxyContin, and meth, which are schedule 2.
Get a clue, please.
