[Scumbag Fraudsters]

It's not old geezers, it's 'publicans.

There are plenty of Dems of all ages who want it legalized.

Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-NY), ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee, refiled the Marijuana Opportunity, Reinvestment and Expungement (MORE) Act on Wednesday. There are 33 initial cosponsors—all Democrats.

The comprehensive legalization legislation has passed the House twice in recent sessions—but this marks the first time it’s being introduced with Republicans in control of the chamber, raising serious questions about whether it will move. The Judiciary Committee, which is the primary panel of jurisdiction, is chaired by anti-cannabis Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH).

Even the prospects of a modest marijuana banking bill that’s set for committee action in the Senate next week are uncertain in the House under the GOP majority.

Look at this shit:

9/21/23

Republican senators, including the lead GOP sponsor of a bipartisan marijuana banking bill, will soon be introducing new legislation to prevent marijuana from being federally legalized by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) without congressional approval.

The yet-to-be-released bill is being led by Sens. Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) and Steve Daines (R-MT), who is also sponsoring the newly revised Secure and Fair Enforcement Regulation (SAFER) Act that’s set for a Senate Banking Committee markup next week.

The offices of both Lummis and Daines sent out press releases on Wednesday and Thursday emphasizing that the senators do “not support making cannabis legal federally.”

“In the coming days Lummis and Daines will be introducing legislation to ensure marijuana cannot be legalized federally by the FDA without Congressional approval,” it says.

Lummis’s announcement also includes an additional line stating that they “both oppose the legalization of marijuana and believe it is an issue that should be decided at the state level.”

This comes a week after 14 House and Senate Republicans sent a letter to the head of the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), imploring the agency to “reject” a recent marijuana rescheduling recommendation from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and keep cannabis in Schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act (CSA). Neither Daines nor Lummis were listed as signatories on that letter, however.
