Sen. Cory Booker urged fellow lawmakers to "follow the lead of states around the country and legalize cannabis for adult use and create a comprehensive taxation and regulatory scheme."
An inch forward is better than a mile backward.
The DEA hasn’t budged on this in 60 years so I’ll gladly take a crack in the dam because that means more are coming.
People seem to forget that progress doesn’t happen overnight, if people are expecting to get everything they want in one fell swoop otherwise they want nothing, then they’ll continue to get nothing forever.

"First, I must confess that over the last few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen’s Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to “order” than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says “I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can’t agree with your methods of direct action;” who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man’s freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a “more convenient season.”
Shallow understanding from people of goodwill is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection."
This is just making excuses for not getting done something that the majority of the country wants and could be done with the snap of a finger. Stop making excuses for the government being anti democratic.
