Marijuana Legalization is About Healthcare and Recreational Freedom

Is America truly a free country if you can be arrested for smoking a plant that mildly alters your thoughts and can help ease your mind after a long stressful day in a capitalistic hellscape? Something that has been proven to be less addictive than coffee. Just like healthcare is a human right, so should be the right to grow, smoke, and profit from the plant. 
 Any arrest or conviction of marijuana-related drug charges should not only be expunged by the court systems, but victims should be paid in restitution for the damages caused to their reputations. People have lost their livelihoods over a failed drug war. The War on Drugs has been primarily propped up by the legacy status quo media, the establishment of GOP, and the establishment Democratic party. Joe Biden, a Democrat himself, is on record when he was running for 2020  in the primary, saying that we don't know if marijuana is a gateway drug at a town hall. It's enough to make Daniel the DARE lion cringe. 

A South Carolina Republican, Nancy Mace, is outflanking Joe Biden on this issue, and Amazon has thrown their public support behind her marijuana legalization bill. Kudos on this one issue to both Nancy Mace of SC and Amazon management, who have realized that marijuana legalization is good for business regarding employee retention. Amazon has made intelligent calculations. Nancy Mace (R-SC) has made a brilliant policy move. It's widely supported by American adults. Gary Chambers Jr., a Democrat running for the Lousiana Senate, runs on a pro-cannabis legalization platform; like others, he understands that marijuana legalization is now supported by nearly 70% of American adults.

If you haven't already watched Gary Chambers Jr.'s excellent campaign video titled 37 Seconds, donate to him to help him get elected. The more allies on this issue on both sides, the better. 

We need as many fighters as we can get on this fight; Democrats, Republicans, Independents must fight this battle; we want the smoke figuratively and literally. Marijuana legalization means real jobs, real money. According to most research, the fact is that it is expected both recreation sales and medicinal marijuana sales are expected to reach over $45 Billion by 2025. 

Legalization will ultimately lead to more research. Just recently, Oregon State University found in a study that two minor cannabinoids, CBDA and CBGA, are both effective in preventing the COVID virus from entering the human cell. If we found out about minor cannabinoids assisting with a genuine medical issue today, what can the other 80-100 cannabinoids do? 

If you support marijuana legalization, you are on the right side of history. Americans must defend the right to seek medical freedom from Big Pharma and recreational freedom from a bland, prudish society. As adults, in America, the home of the free, we should have the right to relax after work with a blunt, a joint, or bowl in peace without having to worry about prosecution and slander.

Leafly/Trainwreck Today people are still being arrested and given records for a plant that is now legal in 11 states and 33 states for medicinal use as of June 2020. People that are detained in states where it is illegal are sometimes thrown in jail, fined, and given a record. It's almost as if it's their goal is to humiliate people for getting caught with a herb that grows on Mother Earth, naturally. When people are arrested for possession, they are not eligible for federal funding like other citizens, they are stripped of social safety net, they are not given boots, only laces. People shouldn't be punished because they smoke something that is natural and of the earth.  Who are we as mortal men who piss-yellow to tell someone they can't fish or they can't hunt? There are far more hunting accident deaths; then, there are people who have died from smoking marijuana. Still, we have that right to get out into nature, climb trees and hunt for our food if we wish to do ...

     Joe Biden has said it himself. He's a mainstream Democrat; he's not Bernie Sanders . That's true. Bernie Sanders is a left-wing progressive who supports marijuana legalization and understands that we need to end the federal prohibition of cannabis via executive order. Bernie Sanders supports Medicare for All, and Joe Biden favors our current status quo broken healthcare system.  The progressive movement has a unique opportunity to point out their differences in local elections in the upcoming midterms. Biden doesn't have a winning message to run on. Joe Biden's approvals are at a record low , but the left can come out on top if we effectively highlight and communicate the apparent differences between progressive and establishment democrats to voters. It's a verifiable fact Bernie Sanders has a higher approval rating than the sitting president among the American public. Progressives are for universal healthcare during a pandemic. Medicare for all means heal...
