As a medical user, I really hope she will stick to this if elected. Trump is doing more “leave it up to the states” bullshit except specifically for Florida and no other state.

    Those states still have dispensaries and grow operations raided all the time, putting people who work at them at risk. There’s also the fact that people like me, who need it for medical use, are breaking both state and federal law by going from Indiana to Illinois to buy it. It could potentially put me in federal prison (probably not, but that is the way things stand legally).

      The only way I can explain such stupidity is by assuming malice, e.g.: “We must put endless fear into the poor people. Our decisions are moral, theirs are not.”

        And because of that possibility for malice, it needs to be federally legal.

        Cops should not be given tools of oppression.

            So you don’t give them ways to make it worse for people.

            If there was a law allowing cops to drone bomb places where they decided criminal activity was occurring, I would assume you would want that law gone.
