I would love to talk about how some certain high-level politicians are talking about cannabis legalization right now... But I know that will only invite a lot of divisive chatter and strong opinions. And since this is social media, people are far more likely to condescend and pretend like only they know the true inside scoop. Regardless of what political party you fall into, people are feeling MIGHTY tense about this election. Both sides equally believe that if the other one wins, it spells doom and gloom and terrible things for the country. Both sides have people sincerely anxious with real concerns and so both sides tend to lash out at each other online or even in person if it somehow makes them feel better about their choices. I wish we could all just take the classic cannabis user example and just "smoke about it." Find the common ground... Because regardless of how you vote, if you work in (or around) the cannabis industry - you probably want there to be legalization to free the plant. We all do, we just have different ways we think it's gonna go with each politician. Embrace the love of the plant and your fellow humans and save the ranting and raving about politics to hellish sites like Twitter, Facebook, and for the talking heads on TV.

As summer comes to an end, and as the election propaganda (on both sides) starts piling up, who is going to be the “best” political party (federally) for cannabis moving forward for America? First off, when I say “best,” what the fuck does that mean?” So, PERSONALLY, when I’m looking at the political battlegrounds of cannabis in this country, which do I think is “best”? None. I think both parties like to dangle the carrot in front of our faces to get clickbait ads for news media for social media ESPECIALLY during the election season, it’s a vicious cycle. So right now, one really has to ask themselves out of all the elections, local, state, and federal, what people, not political parties, do you think will help people like Edwin Rubis and Marc Fogel? Both parties could have already helped these prisoners, but they haven’t. Which political party as a whole is going to stop using cannabis and cannabis prisoners as clickbait to line their pockets and try to earn naive votes? Written by Derek Shirley.

My comment left for the Rescheduling Public Comment Period. 🌱🌱🌱🌱 While this is a great first step in unraveling an almost centuries old unjust prohibition, it is merely that. In a time when many states allow open sales of marijuana, almost 40,000 people are still in jail for that same non-crime. I understand the value of bringing in big Pharma and sophisticated money, as I am a Veteran. I understand the need to have this medicine inside of our Western medicine systems, including the Veterans Administration. I do believe that this is a small step towards a greater goal. I look forward to seeing the leaders that will push us into the next conversation. It is obvious that we are going in a direction of full legalization but rescheduling hinders that at a basic level. I do believe in the medicinal value of cannabis, however, I also believe that my family who served this country and other veterans who served this country should be able to grow their own medicine without red tape or having to register on a list. As you know, 22 Veterans kill themselves everyday in this country and it turns out the cannabis can curb that number. We have a lot of mileage to go yet to call this legalization. I understand this country has been founded on baby steps but now is not the time to baby step when we're unwinding an unjust prohibition. The correct answer here for our government and for our citizens would be a complete descheduling of this already normalized plant. Thank you for your time, your energy and our resources.

These #ImmigrationReviewPodcastMonday posts are starting to creep up on me. Who knew that Mondays occur so often? This week: an important reminder that controlled substance removability/inadmissibility is MASSIVELY in flux, and that really, we're just beginning. More and more circuits seem to be recognizing that 1) a controlled substance can be internally overbroad and indivisible, and 2) state definitions of controlled substances don't match the federal definitions of the same substance. New York cocaine is just one example. By my count at a minimum (and of course, possibly depending on the year of conviction), recent overbroad/indivisible controlled substances additionally include: - Missouri cocaine - Florida marijuana - Indiana methamphetamine - Minnesota ecstasy Who's next? And what's holding up the Ninth Circuit from joining the party?!? Kurzban Kurzban Tetzeli and Pratt P.A.
