Millions more voters legalizing marijuana won’t clear up regulatory haze

Millions more voters legalizing marijuana won’t clear up regulatory haze
THE CONVERSATION 28 OCT 2016 AT 05:09 ET

Congress continues to resist decriminalizing marijuana even as a popular crusade to legalize its use state by state may soon mean almost a quarter of Americans can smoke up at will, not including the many more who can use the drug medicinally.

This has resulted in a patchwork of state laws alongside federal ones that have put the nascent industry in legal and financial limbo.

Despite attempts to remove marijuana from the federal Controlled Substances Act, the government continues to define it as a dangerous drug with no proven medical uses.

I live in Colorado, and MJ has really made a positive difference, but there are still forces trying to discredit Medical use and making a fuss over random ER visits (like alcohol never puts idiots in the ER for abusing it)

but the positive is so much more evident and powerful. They can't ignore it forever, people are suffering unnecessarily in the rest of the states.
