Sham Marijuana Legalization Has Failed – Long Live REAL Marijuana Legalization

By jason330 July 2, 20213 Comments

Lacking social equity provisions, sham weed legalization failed in Delaware. Good. Next time bring back a real legalization bill by cutting the corrupt Delaware way out altogether.

As of today, it is legal to grow marijuana plants in your home or yard in New Mexico: up to six of them each, according to a law passed in a special session of the state legislature, with a cap of 12 plants per household. People 21 or older may possess up to 2 ounces (56 grams) of marijuana, and the smell of marijuana is no longer probable cause for cops wanting to search property, including vehicles.

New Mexico is the new model. Cut out the cops and fucking capitalist ghouls and let's demand actual legalization. Not some bogus bullshit legalization.
