    Both parties fail on this.
    Their allegiance is to big money, not the public.

    The Republican Party sucks ass. Biden should grow a pair and lower the classification of marijuana on the schedule. (I'd advocate for him to deschedule it entirely, but I don't know that he can.)

    Yes. Well, he can order his political appointees to consider it.

    States will continue to loosen the marijuana laws regardless of the FEDS until every state allows it.

    Biggest problem is you cannot buy from a dispensary with a credit or debit card.

    Pain relief. Mexican pharmacies in tourist areas. Very interesting. Enough said.

    Plus the modern day equivalent of "tastes great, less filling", marketing to the male ego. Certain blue pills are marketed with "you don't need it, but it's fun."

    My niece works for them as an accountant. She just bought a house in Tampa & her (fat) salary is considered laundered money, so she had to get a fairly non traditional mortgage.

    Does anybody else remember a time when if you got caught with marijuana the judge would give you a choice, go to jail or enlist and probably go to Vietnam?
    Those were the days.

    Millions have the same 'bendy body' disease as my daughter. Why isn't the medical profession paying more attention? | CNN

    You can use a debit card in Illinois and I believe Michigan as well. They round up the charge to the nearest $10 and give you change as if you'd handed them all tens or twenties, minus the $4.00 service charge for using a card. There's a Chase ATM one block from the dispensary I usually buy from and there are ATMs inside all dispensaries.

    I don't know how busy they are or how many people have the cards, but the pot dispensaries keep opening in Jacksonville.
