Legalization And Two Ballrooms In DC

Cannabis legalization has just gone into effect in DC. But there are complaints from some Republicans. Jason Chaffetz Says D.C. Officials Could Go to Prison If They Stop Busting People for Pot.

Now it is possible that they could go to prison. Someone would have to file a lawsuit, win the case, and get the Obama Justice Dept. to enforce it. Good luck with all that.

Or the Congress could have passed a bill rescinding the law. Except that with 49 libertarian Republicans in the House allied with the Democrats on the issue there was ZERO chance of that. I look forward to seeing what the Republicans can do about it. Other than diminishing their chances in 2016. Assuming they don’t nominate Rand Paul of course.

Well the Republicans have decided not to touch it:

Anti-pot Republicans interviewed by the Post say they do not plan to challenge Initiative 71 in court and leave consideration of criminal charges to the Justice Department.

And Obama is going to attack a very large majority Black constituency and Democrat enclave? You have to wonder if the Republicans didn’t start smoking the stuff a little early.

Let the hilarity ensue. Heh.

So that makes 4 States and the Nation’s Capitol. With a plan by the anti-Prohibitionists to add at least another five States in 2016.

And polls show that it is mainly over 65 Republicans who are standing in the way of change. And they are dying off at the rate of 1 million a year. Won’t be long now. And because Prohibition is a Federal Law and not a Constitutional Amendment it can be voted out.

It is just a matter of time. All that needs to happen is for a few of the Prohibitionists to loose their seats over the issue and there will be a stampede. Possible in 2016. For sure by 2020.

Ah. But it gets even better.

Two ballrooms on Capitol Hill are already reserved for a pot expo on Feb. 28. A date for a massive marijuana seed giveaway is in the works for early March.

I look forward to seeing “conservative” Republican’s heads explode over that one. Two hundred businesses are expected to be in the ballrooms for the expo.

And a seed give away? Three months later there is going to be a LOT of pot in DC.

It will be interesting to see how Republicans “deal”. Caught between socons and business. Heh. No wonder most of them don’t want to touch the issue.

A little music to go with the politics. This is even better.
