a GOP congresswoman says there’s an urgent need for bipartisan collaboration on the issue of marijuana so lawmakers can reach consensus on a path forward to end federal prohibition.

Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC),

I guess with some of the crime stuff in the news it didn't seem like a winning message

South Carolina, not NC.

Her name tings a bell for other reasons, but I can't remember why.

Dakota, Carolina, Virgina

she tried to primary Lindsay in 2014!

disavowing the former president in the wake of the insurrection

“I said I would not blindly follow partisan politics, but rather vote for what is right — not for what is politically expedient — and, most importantly, represent our district,” she added.
“She’s an anomaly,” one senior House Republican said. ”I’m not sure what her political calculation is all the time, but I guess maybe she’s gonna say she’s doing it on principle … I don’t really understand the game she’s playing.”
Imagine that…doing something on principal

also may know her for being the first female recruit to graduate from the Citadel

so far I like what I see…I'm sure she'll do some dastardly GQP stuff, but for right now she's got my support

John Larroquette says he was paid in weed for 'Texas Chainsaw Massacre' work

Funny you bring up John Larroquette, as I was going to post on her that there is a Night Court reboot and John Larroquette is in it

It's more like Night Court: The Next Generation, if you will.

In this case, the gavel has been passed to Judge Harry Stone’s daughter, Abby. Harry Stone was played to perfection by the late Harry Anderson, who passed away in 2018. Abby Stone is following in her father’s footsteps, but her courtroom features a very memorable person from her father’s days with John Larroquette’s Dan Fielding, formerly an assistant district attorney who frequented Harry’s courtroom.

Harry anderson was great, no way it could be the same without him

Pretty much using the tactics that they used in DC to stop retail

Jules what’s the word on the street on this year’s pot laws?

All the bills to legalize retail died in the HoD. I'd say go out in vote in November and flip that, but Youngkin has indicated he's very unlikely to sign anything that's sent to him anyway.

Dems screwed the pooch on this going with this insane "let's legalize and codify the framework for retail and oversight, but lets require a wildly unnecessary second vote on this a year later after elections potentially take one of the three parts of government that gets to weigh in away from us" boondoggle.

I  know…WTF
I guess it was an olive branch, but it didn't get a single GOP vote, so was stupid to do it that way

thing is VA GOP Voters support this (maybe not all) so I don't get why they aren't listening to their constituents

They did the "second vote to confirm" thing because they fell into the classic trap that Dems do where they look at marijuana polling, see its wildly popular on both sides of the aisle, assume they will be able to get votes off it, then discover they gain not one single vote on this topic that they would not have already gotten because this is not a "single issue voter" type issue [with the exception of twelve stoners who were voting for Dems anyway].

Wildly popular =/= gets votes.

Short of federal legalization, would be nice for the Biden Admin to propose some new rules regarding security clearances so they don't blacklist anyone who admits to regular MJ usage. Stone cold drunks can get a clearance with flying colors but if you, heaven forbid, admit to using MJ, you don't have a prayer.

Wow, good thing the federal government flat out rejects current MJ users for secret and top secret clearances. We can't trust those untrustworthy dope smokers, they can't be trusted with our nation's most important secrets.

Oh, wait…………

Wow life just keeps getting better for potheads!!

In the first month… almost 90 million in sales (over 5 million in tax revenue) in the first month of legalization in MD

I hope the va legislature takes this into account when January rolls around this year

Leaving an insane amount of tax revenue on the table by not figuring out how to do sales,  md did it in 82 days! (Jez been over a decade in dc)
