Marijuana Moment, an online cannabis publication, reports that sources on Capitol Hill say lawmakers could file legislation to federally legalize cannabis as early as mid-July. And senators are pressuring the President to use his executive power to deschedule the plant and pardon nonviolent offenders. Then, Boston’s Back Bay neighborhood gets its very first legal dispensary. And High Times is elevating its legacy with a legal consumption lounge in West Hollywood! Plus, why do edibles cost more in Maine? We’ve got it all covered from coast to coast on this week’s episode of Weed Talk News! Anchored by Alaina Pinto.

The fact that the forum hasn’t turned into a lobbying effort is gross and cringe af. Discounts and circle jerks that’s all that’s left

It’s going to be an implemented in some strange way similar to alcohol where it’s still highly restricted yet legal to purchase via government channels it’s even more rules than when it was illegal maybe I could get a government job being a regulator and I’ll get on everybody’s case telling them not to use pesticides I can come to everybody’s homegirl and test the s*** and then bust them and arrest them and put them in jail for pesticide

I edited this post after I recognized that there’s actually people in prison for weed. I forgot about that so yes, Legalize It federally and let everybody out of jail. I had forgot that upon legalization people should be free that’s what they did in Thailand is to free people.

If and when it’s federally legalized I can tell you 2 things

  1. More people will go to federal prison
  2. Prices will go up

The last text I read on a marijuana law being hyped in front of Congress made it a 5 year penalty in federal prison to evade the marijuana sales tax. I for one do no think it will ever be legalized federally. Why give up the fact that you can only write off the cost off goods sold, effectively slamming organized producers on taxes.
