Don't Let Congress (Grassley) Censor Discussion of (Cannabis) Legalization

[tridim]

As soon as Thursday, November 19, the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee could vote on an amendment that will legally prevent some of the government's top advisers from even discussing the idea of legalizing or decriminalizing drugs as a solution to the failed "war on drugs."

Yes, you read that right. The Senate just might censor its own policy advisers from giving science-based advice.

The censorship amendment's author, Sen. Charles Grassley (R-IA), is trying to attach the speech prohibition onto an otherwise positive bill that will create a blue ribbon commission to study our nation's failed criminal justice and drug policies. The commission is supposed to make recommendations for ways to improve the system, but how can they do that with the blindfold that Sen. Grassley wants to put on them? Please take action below and tell your senators to oppose the censorship amendment!

More hyper-obstruction from the party of NO. Sign the petition please and put a stop to the BS.

1. The irony of it all

That an idiot named GRASSley would be the one to kill the idea of any sane discussion of cannabis policy.

3. I hate these type of people they need to get out of office if all they do is act like its 1930.

Term limits is what we need and get this old gassbag fuck out.
