  1. It’ll be a glorious day when full federal legalization happens.

    Yes, it’s legal in many states, but the federal ban is pointless and harmful. Why should anyone lose their job for using cannabis? Why is it still part of pre-employment screening and tested for people on parole? Makes zero sense.

    As a family farm owner in rural Ohio, who wants to capitalize on this new cannabis gold rush, the federal legalization of recreational marijuana will open up growing recreational marijuana, including industrial hemp, which is mostly what we already do on our 500+ acre farm. Getting into selling recreational marijuana to all 50 States could means millions of dollars for my family and the survival of our family farm. Trump (although not necessarily opposed to marijuana, wants to keep it a State issue like abortion).

    I’m pretty critical of Kamala and Biden, but if she gets this through then I strongly believe it’ll have a domino effect on society, and I think in a great way.

    She was a prosecutor and had to enforce these drug laws first hand. She’s in a good place to say that we shouldn’t keep doing them.

    Now just need to hear her position on legalizing the micro-dosing of lsd at the federal level. There have been [great studies showing that it works for the treatment of mental health](https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0149763422001956) and substance abuse disorders as an alternative to SSRI’s. Decriminalization is currently on the ballot in Massachusetts.

    We need to DEschedule, not reschedule.

    Why would we make cannabis legal for private equity and capital investment, if the cops can still kick in our doors, shoot our dogs, and traumatize our children.

    Stop what you’re doing right now and think for a second how dumb the average American is. Then imagine them high on weed

    OPIATE ALTERNATIVES! Legalizing also takes money away from greedy corporations that have been poisoning humans for decades. Regulated, minimum ages, restricted access, intoxication laws, driving, etc. There are many benefits, if used safely.

    Obviously Harris had already got my vote because Donald Trump is a fascist without a plan.

    But if you really want to win me over heart and mind, explain the prosecutions you’ve fought for in the past, embrace and advance from your mistakes and explain what we should start doing differently and why, Mrs. President.

    Don’t just go right back to the status quo of opaque political games, get real, and push for real positive changes.

    That’s how we move forward.

    That’s how we dodge the line of would be enemies of democracy and the United States of America waiting to take over for Donald Trump in destroying everything 300 something MILLION of us call our nation.

    VOTE!!!

    She’s trying to balance out the awful things that have recently been leaked from her campaign. Specifically, that she’s looking at replacing Lina Khan and Gary Gensler.

    Aren’t the Republicans the party of small government and states rights. This checks both boxes
