Nebraska Medical Marijuana Legalization Bill Meets Resistance

A bill to legalize and tightly regulate medical marijuana hit a wall of resistance in the Nebraska Legislature on May 12, even though some opponents

So here's the skinny - A bunch of conservatives came up with this bill and were actually proud of the fact that it would be the most restrictive marijuana legislation in the country. Think about that shit for a second. They were proud that it would be essentially useless. What the ever loving fuck?

So not to be thought of as completely fucking moronic for introducing such a shit bill on marijuana, the bastards then turn around and filibuster their own fucking bill! I shit you not! You can't make this stuff up. So what's probably going to happen is this bill will be set ablaze and then local voters will start putting forward their own bills next year.

I love this state. The country and all. But god fucking damn the people running it still live in caves and draw buffalo on the fucking walls.

I love this guy:

“All of this to me is a gateway,” said Sen. Joni Albrecht, of Thurston. “I’m not going to stand here and develop a policy when I just don’t know what it’s going to do to people.”

It's going to make people happy. Freaking DUH!

Milk is a gateway. An ex-FBI director has stated so in sworn testimony before one of your political branches.

Like the doctors giving sworn testimony to congress back in the 60's that smoking was perfectly healthy and didn't cause cancer.

They just want to control it. They are doing that to set the groundwork for what they'll do later.

Actually he was using the "milk is a gateway" in an argument for a reduction in cannabis laws and penalties. His statement was to the effect that "cannabis is as much of a gateway drug as milk is a gateway to alcohol."

I completely missed that.

And I didn't really give you guys the whole quote.

I don't get that at all.

I believe he means the republicans making all the noise will be the same ones sitting as major shareholders in corporations that establish themselves.

It's the exact scenario that happened up here. Ex-police chiefs, ex- RCMP leadership, ex-politicians are all on the boards or are major shareholders in the cannabis companies being established up here (and already you hear discussions of buyouts by American corporations).

In fact Kevin O'Leary (sharktank's Mr. Wonderful) is already openly discussing investments into what he considers the up and coming hot ip - pharmaceuticals from class 1 narcotics as potential medical and physiological psychological treatments. You can dam well bet the politicians are already making sure they get first buy-ins.

That makes sense.
