    but nothing will done except to make sure cannabis businesses and corporate interests stay protected

    our current leader flip flopped on this issue firing staffers who had use cannabis and going back on campaign promises

    decriminalization means the states decide what to do like Florida

    places like Florida make money off the whole thing by taxing a software company there that makes the cannabis compliant software for all legal states, by the taxes/ fees generated from medical cannabis in Florida, and from the free labor/ fees and such from it being illegal recreationally by locking up recreational users and parole fees and what have you

    biden chose a prosecutor who made a career out of making cannabis users the enemy in California for a vice president what did people expect when voting for him

      What is happening in your post?

      I don’t think anyone was under the impression corporations wouldn’t benefit from legalizing marijuana. Legalizing marijuana under any president was never going to create luxury space communism on its own.

      Yes, we know taxes will be taxes and exists and legalizing marijuana will create more of them.

      What are you talking about software companies for?

      If you don’t like Biden. That’s fair. Your feelings are valid. But just say that instead of this feaver dream of a post.

      I don’t like Trump but I I have no problem saying his administration did some things well. If Trump legalized marijuana, I would praise him for that.
