Surprising that pharma is doing well after the marijuana wins yesterday

Does anyone else kind of like the way Nebraska and Maine dole out their electoral votes?

I think it'd make a lot more sense if every state gave a candidate 2 votes for the popular win and then have every congressional district within the state be worth another vote. I'm not a fan of the winner take all thing.

Ideally, first past the post should be eliminated, but that'll never happen because it would threaten to take power from the two parties in charge.

no chance of more regulation or bulk negotiation like clinton wanted to do

How long do you think it will be before big pharma starts rolling up all the medicinal marijuana production and distribution?

Rudy will snuff all this out. It's schedule 1 still and he will be AG. he'll restart raids and likely go much further.

failure of obama was not getting it rescheduled. too many things are simply being avoided while he's president; they haven't actually become irrevocable law. I advocated the power of hte presidency to get around unprecedented obstruction, but this was always the other side of that coin. we failed ourselves here.

i want to cry when i think about a 6-3 supreme court and all the irreversible damage its going to do.

Some Republicans tried to actually get electoral votes given out based on congressional district...you see the current state of the House.

just going to unfriend anyone that says anything sympathetic to Trump.

at least two generations are going to be stuck in the aftermath of a resurgence of white nationalist populism. It's awful.
