House Dems inexplicably doing the one thing that might save their asses in the midterm elections. I assume Manchin kills this when it gets to the Senate.

Sounds great until everyone forgets to vote because theyâre too high

Just about any Dem senator might with few exceptions. Theyâre a bunch of old establishment fucks who think itâs the gateway drug. They passed it last year and I donât even think it got a vote in the Senate.
My guess is around 10 Dems in the Senate genuinely oppose it but most wouldnât want to be the ones to block it politically, and 4-6 would make political calculations and prefer to vote against it and block it.
I doubt it gets a vote.
Sinemaâs a pharma puppet, zero chance she supports this. Maybe you get Rand Paul and one or two Republicans on board. Somehow Dems will find a way to fuck this up instead of becoming the party that gave voters legal weed.
Of course, it ultimately remains up to the states to decide if it is legal or illegal.
Democrats passing a bill to legalize weed is like asking a woman to hold hands, being turned down, so asking for anal sex.

i think legal thc will be a bonanza for pharma. itâs shortsighted to be against it.
Couldnt big pharma use this to break into a massive industry legally?
True, and it really doesnât change the status quo much. However it would be nice to know that legal states arenât at risk of some huge douche future president deciding heâs enforcing the law, sending the feds in to raid every dispensary and arrest everybody.
Iâd love to build a class of legal weed single-issue voters who believe that legal states will only be at risk if a Republican is in the White House.

They could lobby to get a strict process written in for regulating weed companies that operate across state lines, and get the regulations written so that oops only the big pharma companies qualify.
Right now weed companies canât operate across state lines.
I donât see why pharma would give a fuck about legal weed. Donât think they do either. Marijuana isnât going to make a dent in big pharma at all.
well except for whoever makes toradol
toradol is generic, basically only given in hospitals or clinics as injections these days, doesnât cost much, and weed is a shitty pain killer.
No doubt manchin thinks marijuana is an opiate.
Independently determined by thinking about it
