Lobbyists. Alive and well.

All drugs have medical use. So? Legalizing all drugs for entertainment use? Have fun, guys! Stupid is as stupid does.

Marijuana has medical value and purpose decriminalize federally and solve alottttt of problems in present day america

Today is te day joe biden lost the election

Good for them. It would have been an unforced error and a huge gift to the GOP.

What's the point of that? Trying to force a policy that doesn't work instead of dealing with the bigger problem - getting rid of Trump - I don't get what the Democrats are doing.
