Of course the Senate will smother this in its crib.

I'd say DC is your best bet.

Red states are like 46% for legalization. 
already done in Montana and a neighboring state IIRC

I thought they can't legally sell but can "give it away" (nudge nudge, hint hint.) Also I thought even in red states it had +50% support?  I know in purple NH it's 61% in favor.

Huge distinction between legalization and decriminalization.  Also big difference between legal for recreational use and legal for medical use.  

 

This was less about legalizing pot, and more about the failed “war on drugs.”  Interesting that it even made it to a vote in the house, but yes, sure to get shot down in the senate.

 

Here in Vermont is is legal for recreational and medical use.  Dispensaries are scheduled to open by fall 2021.  The “private market” dealers here in VT, it seems, has gone to a delivery system.  You pay a fee for handling and delivery, but the cannabis is on the house!  😂

 

You see cars with signs advertising cannabis delivery all over the place.  Nothing the police can do about it here.

Decriminialize isn't the same as legalize; it just means it would no longer be a felony.

And yet New Hampshire stands alone again reefer madness! Our guv gets too much support from law enforcement to risk going against their wishes. Meanwhile Mass opens pot shops right on our border while the state is having a huge Covid-induced deficit.

I can’t believe NH hasn’t gone rec legal yet.  Especially with Maine, Mass, & Vermont (I think NJ too?).  Seems like they’re leaving a ***** ton of tax revenue on the table.

Not sure if or when it'll be legalized but you can get seeds by mail.

Seeds are actually legal. So are spores for psychedelic mushrooms. Just don't grow them.

I can’t even grow tomatoes! I go to the Farmers Market. I think this might make the Farmers Market far more fun, though!

Of course, federal decriminalizing  does mean making fully legal.

 

Ganja will still be illegal at the Peace Bridge. Sorry pot heads.

Not fully legal, I suspect.  There would likely be limits imposed (e.g., 2 ounces of flower and 4 plants).  This is how most states have done it.  I expect the Feds would do it similarly.

Quit smoking pot 30+ years ago only to be an alcoholic and now they pull this?

 

There ought to be a law.....

This is to get all the potheads out to vote in the Georgia Senate runoff.

The lobbyists for Oreo cookies finally broke down the resistance.

Hang in there folks, legalization for everyone, everywhere, is coming, and soon.

 

Will still take more time, but it's coming.
