can't have something you can grow in your backyard replacing all kinds of expensive pills now, can we?
Don't follow what you are saying? Legalizing recreationally is also legalizing it medically
Even Biden supported medical marijuana and he already started the process to legalize that (via rescheduling)
What he's saying is that a lot of the forces against recreational legalization are also against medical legalization, and moreover that a lot of the "moral crusade" against it is actually just cynical anti-competitive business tactics.
Or, [sigh], maybe that's just what I'm reading into it and he had no deeper point to make.
yes, pharmaceutical companies lose money when people use weed instead of pain pills, or any of the other pills that weed replaces. but advocates for private prisons also want weed to stay as a schedule 1, because that means more bodies in more cells costing more tax dollars. https://www.npr.org/sections/codeswitch/2014/03/13/289000532/why-for-profit-prisons-house-more-inmates-of-color
but legalizing medically is NOT legalizing recreationally
Yes? Harris is saying she wants it legalized medically and recreationally. She's supporting full legalization here and she has earlier in the campaign
I still don't follow what you are trying to say? Unless you are just concuring with Harris?
i was being sarcastic dude
Sorry it's hard to tell over text sometimes. Have had plenty of fully genuine conversations with people saying things like this who are not being sarcastic
