Those things can get you and sometimes can creep up on you. Some dumb kid will eat one, not feel anything in 5 mins get impatient and eat like 2 more.

Its basically already legal in Maryland. I think there should be some paperwork and steps people have to go through to get a card.

The State is taxing it very high already almost to the point companies are starting to think they wont be making a profit.

It is making Maryland a ton of tax revenue.
You have pretty much described the same thing with young people and drinking. Make the legal age for purchase 21 then, like alcohol.

Should be 21 to drink, and 21 to smoke. Penalize driving while high the same way you penalize DUI, and train officers on signs they can look for to spot someone driving while high.

Add in high taxes on marijuana and you can have an effective policy vs what we have had the past 40 years. It is far too late for this obvious change to be made.

Could you imagine the effect on the upcoming election if Trump instructed the DOJ to stop prosecuting marijuana sales and made a broad commutation of all minor marijuana charges after the conventions. It would be YUGE.

It'd be one of the smartest moves he could probably make and it would immediately boost his minority vote.

So he probably won't do it

Re: Democratic Primary Push for White House

So coming off the Biden big win in South Carolina...I would expect Obama would have to endorse JB before Super Tuesday in order to attempt to sway away momentum from Bernie?

Or is this another political mistake in the career of most overrated? Am I missing something?

I think Obama might wait to endorse until the field is narrowed down. Obama should be focused on the big picture, which is supporting whatever candidate emerges from the smoke. Whoever it is, Sanders or Biden, it's going to be a tough sell convincing the moderates or progressives to throw their entire weight behind one candidate.

Re: Democratic Primary Push for White House

Once Klobuchar and Buttegieg drop out likely after Super Tuesday, Biden will start collecting more delegates. Bernie will make a showing, but Biden will end up winning. Bloomberg showed in the debates he isn't the candidate that will beat Trump. The question will be how many Sanders voters refuse to vote for Biden in the general election.

The democrats aren't putting a lifelong independent, who is a socialist, on their ticket. It's not happening.

Buttegieg suspends his campaign. Wonder what happens with the Bernie Bros when Biden gets the nomination.

I thought she might stay in to grab Minnesota delegates away from Bernie..cause he is a threat there

She was the best candidate in the field.

So glad annoying garbage Mayor Pete is out...of course I would have liked to hear trump keep calling him Alfred e Newman some more

Other than Biden she was the only democrat I could listen to speak without wanting to throw a brick at the TV set. Glad Pete is gone, why he seems to think he constantly needs to remind everyone he is gay is beyond me. The identity politics in this country is getting out of hand. How about we all just identify as human, regardless of race, creed or sexual orientation?

I had to talk my mom off a cliff after Pete quit his campaign. She is retired Lt. Colonel in the Army and firmly believes the Commander in Chief should have military experience at a minimum.
