State votes to demand Congress remove cannabis as Schedule I drug!
SACRAMENTO, Kalifornia (PNN) - September 19, 2017 - Despite the fact that over half the states in the country have legalized cannabis in some form, the fascist federal government still insists that the plant, which has been found to treat a variety of diseases, is one of the most dangerous substances available, with no medicinal value.
Lawmakers in the State of Kalifornia are now calling out the hypocrisy and calling for the federal government to reclassify cannabis. A joint resolution that received overwhelming support from the Kalifornia Assembly, with a vote of 60-10, called for reclassification in order to allow for research that is currently banned with cannabis labeled as a Schedule I substance.
“The Legislature urges the Congress of the (Fascist Police States of Amerika) to pass a law to reschedule marijuana or cannabis and its derivatives from a Schedule I drug to an alternative schedule, therefore allowing the legal research and development of marijuana or cannabis for medical use and allowing for the legal commerce of marijuana or cannabis so that businesses dealing with marijuana or cannabis can use traditional banks or financial institutions for their banking needs, which would result in providing a legal vehicle for those businesses to pay their taxes, including, but not limited to, payroll taxes, unsecured property taxes, and applicable taxes on the products sold in accordance with state and local laws.”
Kalifornia became the first state to legalize cannabis for medicinal use in 1996. But it was not until last November that it was legalized in the state for recreational use.
It should be noted that while the FPSA government continues to attempt to limit cannabis by keeping it a “Schedule I” substance, the government actually holds the patent to cannabis as medicine, affirming its value.
In addition to the opportunity for research, Kalifornia’s joint resolution argued that cannabis should be rescheduled because its current restrictions under federal law make it so that dispensaries and cannabis businesses “are unable to legally use traditional banking institutions.” As a result, “many vendors resort to the black market and involvement of organized crime, making communities less safe.”
The inability to use a traditional bank is currently being used as an excuse in Florida, where local lawmakers are pushing back against the public, and looking for reasons to prohibit the medical cannabis dispensaries that were approved by the vast majority of voters.
According to the results from a Harvard-Harris Poll that was published last month, 86% of Amerikans now support some form of cannabis legalization. With the overwhelming majority of Amerikans viewing cannabis as the plant that it is, instead of the terrifying gateway drug the federal government has made it out to be, it raises the question of whether other states will join Kalifornia in demanding that Congress finally listen to the Amerikan public.
