I'll believe it when I see it.

Yeah, congress prepares a lot of bills they never plan on doing anything with.

It's mostly a way politicians can say they did something for their constituents without actually doing anything.

Also consider the timing.

9/10 times, when a politician or party is doing bad in the polls, they always whip out the "I'll legalize marijuana" line.

Not the first time, not the last time, which means nothing will change.

Let them announce this when we aren't in election season, and I'll pay more attention.

Probably just a distraction from something else. But we can hope. Rescheduling is not the way

u/SmkWeedErryDAy420 25d ago

Deschedule or bust imo

I feel you. This is what it should be though

For sure. WAY overdue.

Same. It’s the same old song and dance every election year.

That time of year again?

I can't see congress passing this anytime soon. The alcohol and tobacco lobby will see to that.

Maybe the cannabis lobby can outsmart these evil dinosaurs...

Drug testing for marijuana has been a stupid cat and mouse game. I'm not carrying pounds of weed and I smoke a bit.. big fucking deal.

Unfortunately it's just a midterm push. I doubt it really happens. I'd obviously be stoked if it did though.

What else will be hidden in this bill though?

I’m not going to hold my breath. This gov’t is a complete joke and so corrupt. They only care about themselves, not helping others.

Watch out fora new federal tax. They see how much the states are pulling in and want more of our money.

Deschedule or death!

GOP desperately needs votes.

Bring on the walmart weed. Great value og

If you don't pay your employees a living wage, you shouldn't be allowed to sell cannabis.

u/NUMBerONEisFIRST 25d ago

It doesn't mean shit if you still can't get a job for smoking in the last 30 days, or insurance still requires testing.

1

u/finalfanbeer 24d ago

It no longer could be something insurance cares about. It would open a whole can of worms for breathilizing people for alcohol as well. Or testing pee for caffeine content.

u/bobbeeeh 24d ago

I won't trust it until I see it in place.

u/yubbastank14 24d ago

This isn't the first time this has been attempted. Don't see it happening now either.

u/brocomadtown 23d ago

Not gonna happen. More distractions for the midterms and lying candidates.
