    Can always expect history channel to explain it in a leftist, anti republican tone. Yes, the bill Nixon signed included cannabis. It also included opium, cocaine, heroine. At the time weed hadn’t been studied. What I’m more concerned about are the administrations since (several being democrat) who have not declassified pot as a schedule 1 drug, federally. Quit blaming republicans when both sides are guilty. But of course, history channel will only tell one side.

    Legalize is America. This is supposed to be a free nation and we legalize a plant? Sounds unnatural
