I believe the best way forward with cannabis will be to make it so that federally it isn't enforced at all but it is enforced at the state level.
Rescheduling it any other way at the federal level sets a precedent for all states. Kicking it back to the states (like abortion) allows each state to do what they want with it.
Conservative states can keep it illegal and the lefty states can legalize it. Or whatever the individual states decides to do with it
I'm the Steve Miller midnight toker. I am head of finance at a large company and when not working am spending quality time with my two daughters. I cook dinner for the family every night and do a lot of the typical housework reserved for women as well as my make duties. When not doing that, I work out. I don't drink or do other drugs but do like to wind down in the evening with a vape of thc. I understand true stoners are typically dead beats and give a bad perception for those who partake, but I contribute to society and am very attentive to my family. Not everyone who uses weed is worthless
I know many people with similar stories. By habitual stoners I mean people who are totally baked from dawn till dusk.....Weed is actually a psychedelic drug and will heal and break brain washing if used correctly. I first tried it when I was a young teenager and didn't like it that much but kept an open mind to it through the years. I was always willing to try what ever "killer strain" my friends were into if they could talk me into it. It wasn't until I actually ate an edible one time made with Rick Simpson oil that I really felt the healing effects though. I think weed, just like anything has a time and a place and that is going to be different for everyone. Unfortunately weed gets jammed together with most of the bad drugs most of the time, especially in conservative communities. Kind of a throw the baby out with the bathwater situation. Coke, meth, heroin, and alcohol are neurotoxic to some level even at low doses. Some are much worse than others. Weed is less neurotoxic than caffeine and has major healing benefits. Just keep that in mind.
