Two pieces of good news

Netanyahu finally sees some consequences.

For the first time in Israel's history, a sitting prime minister is accused of bribery: Attorney General Avichai Mendelblit announced Thursday Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu would be charged with bribery, fraud and breach in three corruption cases, dubbed Cases 4000, 2000 and 1000.

Legal marijuana at the federal level?

The House Judiciary Committee has approved a bill Wednesday that would decriminalize marijuana at the federal level. The Marijuana Opportunity Reinvestment and Expungement Act of 2019, or MORE Act, passed 24-10 after more than two hours of debate. It now heads to the full House.

The bill would remove marijuana from the list of federally controlled substances, allow states to set their own marijuana policy and require federal courts to expunge prior convictions for marijuana offenses. A 5% tax on marijuana products would also establish a trust fund for programs designed to help people disproportionately impacted by the "war on drugs," including job training and treatment for substance abuse.

Ending the war on drugs. Next target is ending the war of Terror (reversing the Patriot Act too).

Somebody should tell JoJo that maryjane will make his senescence much more bearable. Then maybe he'll get to spend his remaining time in Ukrainian jails if the Feds won't take him.

Maybe Nuttin' Yahoo's reign of terror will finally end and we can start working toward real peace in Palestine. As for MJ legalization, Trump would probably sign it but I have doubts about the Republican Senate passing it. They're too much in the pocket of Big Booze.

@edg
so called controlled substance laws
enrich the pill makers, legislatures
and jailers alike

'legalization' gets so restrictive
it may as well still be a crime

@QMS The prison industrial complex. What would the cops do without running up to (black and brown people's cars) screaming about "do I smell weed???"
