Cops on the Hill

 Stories from the week of November 19, 2021

Frustration:   I have made enquiries.  The Democrats in the House are not interested in a clean, simple bill decrim of marijuana.  There are now two, Republican, House bills that are short and simple to end the federal prohibition of marijuana.   Senate Democrats also insist on the “Christmas Tree” approach to marijuana reform.  This guarantees no compromise and failure.

I quietly do my work and build bi-partisan support for ending the Drug War.  Look, again, to the States for most/all reform bills in 2022.

Happy Turkey Day!
