This bill lets states decide if they want to legalize marijuana, while protecting those states that want to keep it illegal. The current federal ban on weed is a waste of taxpayer dollars and puts an undue burden on our criminal justice system.
The normalization, expanded use, and increased availability of marijuana across the U.S. does not detract from the fact that it is a dangerous substance. It is classified as a Schedule I drug for a reason, and it should stay that way.
