At the end of the day in the polls I've seen there is 75% support for legalization. Why would politicians in this state be able to provide the voters with anything they want?

I think there are way worse states. I'm on unemployment right now, and it's a decent amount to get me by my first layoff in 23 years. While my bff in Florida, who made $80,000 a year, collected $213 a week, their max amount. NJ shored up the ACA to prevent my premiums from skyrocketing as federal changes took place over the last couple of years. Yes my taxes are too high. But I like NJ and I don't think it's a bad state at all. Where is this magic state everyone thinks works so smoothly and all the politicians and citizens agree on everything?
I think when it came down to the senate, they just chickened out. But considering how few states have legalized despite most of the population wanting it, I don't think that's unique to us.
If you saw my post yesterday, I posted about a bill that passed the house to legalize it on a Federal level last week. I have high doubts it will pass a conservative Senate, but if it does I don't see how any state could continue to object to it.
That might be a little bit over the top Lol. But I do agree that to a certain extent good people's lives have been ruined over a small amount of a substance that is already legal in 1/4 of the United States.
yep, i know it wont happen. i like to throw it in the discussion so that people think a little bit further into the issue and how incredibly horrible and evil the US government is. this isnt an issue that is debatable. this is kidnapping people, its stealing their drugs and their money and it is ruining their lives. i think one thing holding legalization back is that admitting that it shouldnt have been illegal opens the government up for people wanting compensation for damages (which they would be entitled to if the US government even had enough money to pay back people for all the evil stuff it has done to them).
Wait, are we voting no on the OP's idea about paranoia or no to the proposed bill? Because the OP seems to have made a very strong case to vote no to their paranoia.
Right, that's why I said I'd have to see the actual proposal.
If you go down to 2017-2019 there is a lot of detail on the first bill, and what the sticking points were. The second will most likely be similar but it won’t be worked out detail wise till it passes the ballot.
