New marijuana laws now in effect | What to know

Starting this New Year, new cannabis laws are protecting employees who rely on marijuana for a number of reasons.

“I have ADHD, so I was on a stimulant for about 15 years. So, I decided to get off of it about two and a half years ago. And I found out that marijuana helps shut my brain down at night, and it just doesn’t keep it running and it helps me go to sleep,” said Brennen Lupton, a cannabis user.

    As someone who has taken a few percocets everyday for a year, and has almost a total tolerance to it, while living in an illegal state.. I’m hoping the laws change asap, the pain pills “epidemic” has been nothing but a genocide on people with chronic pain.

  12. @hexayin on February 28, 2024 at 3:20 am

    It’s so cool how the legalization of marijuana is a bipartisan agreement but a handful of people in power (particularly in the pharmaceutical industry) say no, so what those few say goes. What a great democracy!



  13. @Khaynizzle7 on February 28, 2024 at 3:20 am

    If the effects are so light you can’t easily tell that someone is using, then maybe it’s really a non-issue.



  14. @lolfu6492 on February 28, 2024 at 3:21 am

    Can be a raging alcoholic no problem. But god forbid you smoked a joint 2 weeks ago.

  39. @JohnnyEla on February 28, 2024 at 3:50 am

    Meanwhile you still got many people in jail for having an oz or 2 for their own recreational use in their possession at the wrong place

  43. @mikemission9230 on February 28, 2024 at 3:56 am

    End Cannabis Prohibition! Take Cannabis Off The Schedule 1 Drug List At The Federal Level. Stop Withholding This Life-Saving Herb!



  44. @TalkingGIJoe on February 28, 2024 at 3:57 am

    Should the federal government allow states to legalize pot?
    I laugh whenever I hear the “experts” debate this point.  Let me make it very simple for you. The federal government has absolutely no legal authority whatsoever to say what type of drug you can or can’t have or take. None. It isn’t about how dangerous it is.  It has nothing to do with running it through the laughably UNconstitutional FDA. There is really NOTHING to argue about. It is about the simplest argument in the world to understand. And that is precisely why you have never heard it. They don’t let it circulate because they can’t defeat it.
    The constitution says Zero regarding any type of regulation or outlawing of “drugs”. Alcohol is a drug. Nicotine is a drug. Pot is a drug. Heroin is a drug. The feds needed a constitutional amendment to outlaw alcohol, and they need one for every other drug. They have no authority without one. If they don’t need one for pot, then why did they need one for alcohol? Why?  There is no “constitutional exception” for dangerousness or anything else. That isn’t law, that is made up nonsense. Laughably absurd in your face foolishness.  Case closed.  Thank you, I’ll be here all week, don’t forget to tip your servers.

    Think about it. When “the people” were supposedly “clamoring” for alcohol to be outlawed by the all powerful Oz back in the early 20th century, why didn’t the federal government just outlaw it?  Oh yeah, the inmates weren’t completely brainwashed at that point. The people KNEW the feds didn’t have the legal authority to do that without an amendment. So what did they do?  The overlords waited till the whole world was immersed in a giant war they caused and that’s when they went around and got their Constitutional Amendment passed. Here are the pertinent provisions of that amendment. Note the date.
AMENDMENT XVIII
Passed by Congress December 18, 1917. Ratified January 16, 1919. Repealed by amendment 21.
Section 1.  After one year from the ratification of this article the manufacture, sale, or transportation of intoxicating liquors within, the importation thereof into, or the exportation thereof from the United States and all territory subject to the jurisdiction thereof for beverage purposes is hereby prohibited.
Section 2. The Congress and the several States shall have concurrent power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.
    When the people had had enough of this utter absurdity, which I suspect was foisted on them like every other supposedly “organic movement by the people”, and they were on the verge of revolt, the overlords took a step back and reversed the decision with ANOTHER constitutional amendment. Here it is.
AMENDMENT XXI
Passed by Congress February 20, 1933. Ratified December 5, 1933.
Section 1.  The eighteenth article of amendment to the Constitution of the United States is hereby repealed.
