Owen and Mehdi discuss the ongoing misrepresentation of college protests in the mainstream media, the debate over genocide in Gaza, and the London mayoral el...
I haven't heard anything about it, but I hope that's true. It still needs to get congressional approval outside of executive DEA stuff. It would be really great if a law was passed to specifically make it illegal for employers to inquire as to your drug use/non use outside of work hours. There's a bunch of shit tied into that not happening though traced back to like the start of the "war on drugs" especially in transportation professions... which obviously I don't think a dude should he hitting his vape pen and hopping in his big rig to drive interstate, but, that should preclude him from smoking after work or, say, 8 hours before driving. Treat it like drinking alcohol... just too much criminality tied up in smoking a plant. It's always been for racist and/or sanctimonious reasons and that absolutely needs to end.
I also hate even having to discuss weed legalization when there's an ongoing genocide. The scale of these things is incomparable and it seems like a lot of like 45+ y/o's haven't come to grips with those facts yet that you can talk about weed or healthcare including abortion or college tuition but in the end if people are paying attention and actually care on a human level about the Palestinian cause they are just going to become more enraged at democrats like "I wish I could focus on weed right now, but unfortunately your dumb ass is still incinerating children!"
