House Bill Introduced to Remove Marijuana from List of Controlled Substances
Even before it began, 2019 has been hailed as the year of marijuana, with good reason: the number of Americans who support legalization has reached record highs, and an increasing number of Democratic presidential candidates are advocating for drug reform and an end to our draconian, racist drug laws.
On Thursday morning, Reps. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) and Don Young (R-AK) introduced what they called a “landmark” piece of legislation, the Ending Federal Marijuana Prohibition Act of 2019, which is “the only bipartisan piece of legislation that would allow states to make independent choices about their marijuana programs,” according to Young.
In a press conference, Gabbard, who has also announced her candidacy for the 2020 presidential election, said the bill would remove marijuana from the federal Controlled Substances list, thereby allowing states to set up their own laws regulating the substance.
“We’ve seen now for generations how our archaic marijuana policies based on outdated myths and misplaced stigma have been used to wage a failed war on drugs,” Gabbard said. “We’ve seen the impact on families torn apart, communities left fractured, and the over-criminalization and mass incarceration that has become the norm, making an impact on the people in our communities as well as the taxpayer dollars being spent on this broken criminal justice system.”

....Tricky Dick deputized Elvis (Well, not really. But the toy badge Nixon gave him looked cool) to help combat those commie hippies and their wacky weed. I recall reading in the Weekly World News before they folded that they're both in a UFO somewhere in outer space right now, still puzzling over how they can save the youth of America. 
Let it turn man. They think we're going to roll over in despair. Think of Hillary Clinton. She stood strong when the winds blew hard. Service is honor. We will not give that all away. NO!
P.S. What say YOU President H Clinton?? I'm curious what she thinks we should do. I believe she's had MUCH more time to mull this travesty. We are the educated ones. We are the future. If this all comes down I'll take my cues from Field Marshal Clinton before I crumble to a bunch of cheating ruskies.
RED DAWN RISING. 
Better dead...than Red. And if you served too....you're already ready to do what has to be done. Better men and women than us survived much worse. Chin up! The Stars and Bars!! Fuck them. Toothless, stupid t-shirt wearing, incompetents. (Better russian than Democrat?? I would love to rip a shirt off a fools carcass and kick his stupid ass before I let them think that's a cute slogan.)
They kid themselves that liberals are gun shy. No. We're gun smart. We hunt, then lock them up, but, I can hit a target dead in the middle at 50 yards w an iron sight on a .308. Should someone harm me or my family or my community...count on them going through folks like me/us before they do it again. It's the oath we took.
Blue Wave 2020...but TRUE Hearts until then. Be brave. We WILL be called on again.
