didn't need to see this again. Except for Casey for some reason the Ds are yes and the Rs are no.

Casey sides with right leaning centrists a little too much for my taste.

Back when the wacky far right Planned Parenthood videos came out, Casey sent an email promising his constituents that he’d “fully investigate” instead of writing it off as the obvious hoax it was.

I feel like there are a lot more important issues than weed, at least for the next 2 elections. I'm pro legalization tho.

Yeah we all understand it. It's just that a lot more important things are on the ballot.

At this point if you want weed just get a medical card which basically anyone can get after an online consultation, or drive to jersey once a month and stock up.

Legalization would be nice but very far down the list of issues that would impact my family's life

I like the legalization of marijuana, but i dislike fettermans decriminalization of meth and heroin along with it.

That's a bummer because evidence-based policies save lives.

so we are ok with decriminalizing meth and heroin, the scum drugs of our country?

Yes absolutely. The criminalization of these substances has done absolutely nothing to reduce their consumption or the dangers associated with them. Decriminalization + treating drug abuse as a medical problem instead of a criminal justice problem is an evidence-based approach that is proven to reduce addiction, disease, violence, and overdose deaths. Portugal is the best example of this but similar policies have been tried elsewhere. The question is not whether meth and heroin are terrible (of course they are), the question is what policies are best suited to save lives. At this point, anyone who is pro-drug prohibition is essentially pro-overdose and pro-drug related violence. Decriminalization is necessary as part of a holistic, evidence-based approach to drug policy that treats it as a medical and mental health issue.

If weed is what flips your vote this year you are probably not a great person.

No they just don't realize that regardless the outcome of this election it will become legal countrywide in the next few years.
