"Though it had nine Republican cosponsors, the cannabis banking bill lacked the kind of broader bipartisan support it needed to catch a ride on a government funding bill. It’s possible that it could have passed with a stand-alone vote, but Democrats had failed to schedule one." A ha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwimModSponges Posted December 20, 2022 Author Share Posted December 20, 2022 They're not stopping you. They're still stopping a lot of people. Heck they're stopping the people who sell you legal weed from legally holding the money they receive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1pooh4u Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 While Republicans clearly obstruct cannabis bills in larger numbers I’m sure Democrats didn’t do all they could to pass these bills either. Marijuana legalization is so insanely popular yet politicians in the pockets of big pharma aren’t going to want it to happen. Politicians against any type of Criminal Justice reform certainly don’t want it either. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They put in the bare minimum effort to make it look like they try, but they dont push it that hard because of all the money they get from Pharma. They make it look like they are trying, but its a pretty low level effort. They could probably get it done if they really tried, but they dont. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something Joe Biden could do entirely on his own, btw. No real push at all for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Politicians across the spectrum have other priorities and they're not motivated either to expend their political capital to get it passed or have no particular reason to budge on opposition. The fact that we've gone as long as we have with state legalized pot with no real interference by the feds leads a lot of legislators to mistakenly think they can continue to punt the issue. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there was already a bill written and supported by both parties, wasn’t like there was so much work left to do. Making dispensaries safer by allowing them to use the banking system instead of all cash is a win for everyone. It’s billions of more dollars banks get to play with. You’d think greedy stock holding politicians would be into that 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where would the military get these items cheaply made if the country suddenly started releasing non violent criminals and didn’t jail drug offenders at all? that probably keeps a few states inline with the feds wanting to keep it illegal. Fear of soldiers, that no one cares about once they’re damaged or done with service, not being able to get their protection would be something they’d amplify to maintain the status quo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
