The move is a significant step to decriminalize cannabis on the federal level, with 19 states already legalizing recreational cannabis use.
“We’re not talking about dealers. We’re not talking about people selling pot to an underage kid. We are talking about the people who just got caught with some weed and got convicted in federal court,” Spike said. “You know, a lot of people can’t stand alcohol. We don’t make alcohol illegal. We don’t punish everybody because some people can’t handle it.”
Spike pointed out that during the ‘War on Drugs,’ a campaign led by the federal government to reduce the illegal drug trade in the U.S. in the latter half of the 20th century, cannabis was placed on the Schedule 1 drug list, alongside drugs like heroin and LSD. As for why cannabis was made a Schedule 1 drug, Spike points to a combination of a failure of racial bias in the legal system, as well as lobbying from the pharmaceutical industry.
