BREAKING: Bill To End Marijuana Prohibition Passes Key Committee
by NORML November 20, 2019
For the first time ever, a congressional committee has approved a piece of legislation to end marijuana prohibition in the United States. The Marijuana Opportunity, Reinvestment, and Expungement Act, better known as The MORE Act, would remove marijuana from the Controlled Substances Act and impose a minor excise tax on the legal cannabis industry to pay for the expungement of criminal records, among other changes, passed with a bipartisan vote of 24 to 10.
“This is a truly historic moment in our nation’s political history. For the first time, a Congressional committee has approved far-reaching legislation to not just put an end to federal marijuana prohibition, but to address the countless harms our prohibitionist policies have wrought, notably on communities of color and other already marginalized groups,” stated NORML Executive Director Erik Altieri, “Opposition to our failed war on marijuana has reached a boiling point with over two-thirds of all Americans, including majorities of all political persuasions, now supporting legalization. Congress should respect the will of the people and promptly approve the MORE Act and close this dark chapter of failed public policy.”
“The passage of the MORE Act represents the first time that the Judiciary Committee has ever had a successful vote to end the cruel policy of marijuana criminalization,” said NORML Political Director Justin Strekal. “Not only does the bill reverse the failed prohibition of cannabis, but it provides pathways for opportunity and ownership in the emerging industry for those who have suffered most. In 2018 alone, over 663,000 Americans were arrested for marijuana-related crimes, a three-year high. Now that Chairman Nadler has moved the MORE Act through committee, it is time for the full House to vote and have every member of Congress show their constituents which side of history they stand on.”
In the two days leading up to the vote, nearly 60,000 thousand messages to their lawmakers in support of The MORE Act through the NORML legislative action center. Tags : act, Congress, Federal, history, legalization, marijuana, MORE, prohibition, vote Posted in : 2019, Advocacy

I wish this would impact the Bible Belt south, I imagine if it gets passed federally states will be able to implement their own laws on cannabis which means a majority of the south it will stay illegal.

Bill to end marijuana prohibition? I told you I would accomplish something great
-------------------- Something there is mysteriously formed, Existing before Heaven and Earth, Silent, still, standing alone, unchanging, All-pervading, unfailing, I do not know its name; I call it tao. If forced to give it a name, I call it Great (ta). Being great, it flows out; Flowing out means far-reaching; Being far-reaching, it is said to return. It's just a shot away..

Good news, I want things to keep moving forward. Legalize it, the people need that. It's absurd that alcohol and tobacco are legal yet Cannabis is not, that makes no freaking sense.

Does this mean businesses won’t be able to fire people for smoking? If not then it’s mostly worthless.

No not worthless.
A start at being heard is rarely worthless.

I sometimes wonder, @O Reilly do you like the real Bill O'Reilly or is it sarcasm? I honestly can't stand the guy but hes one of those relentless (ex) fox news hosts that can argue without even any facts, he goes in for the personal kill. the interview that showed me his true colors was the one where he was attacking a guy whose dad died in 9/11 and at first he was allowed on because "patriotism" but he started talking about opposing Bush's war. "Your father would be ashamed"
Sorry for OT.
This would be fucking amazing. I'm sure most big cities would roll with it since weed wouldnt be an "illegal drug" anymore. Like how overnight CBD started being sold at the Vitamin Shoppe once hemp was legalized nationally. Probably would end incentives to arrest. Smoking a joint publically would at worst be considered a nuisance. these days I see people smoking cigs getting dirtier looks than a jay
I think without the schedule 1 bs even the very conservative states would probably have to stop any kind of mass arrests. And then youd prolly have alot of good mail order dispensaries so even if your town doesnt open shops, legal is legal.
PS businesses can fire you for any reason all they actually need is to give you a fake excuse. Could be for perfectly legal medication that they dont like if they drug test. Or really just anything. Its very easy to create a reason to lay someone off

I love the real bill. I used to hate him as I used to lean left but as I grew up I started thinking in terms of masses, government and what's good for the whole of the people. Bill just nails almost every argument. He has his finger on the pulse and extremely knowledgeable when it comes to politics. I also had a mescaline HCL 600mg experience where bill Oreilly was speaking to me through my TV. The mescaline made him appear as this all knowing reptilian figure type person.
This is one example of how bill Oreilly just nails it.
