Real enough but doubtful if it passes Senate, also unknown if Biden would sign into law. He supports decrim to a point but legalization is
another issue.

It won't make it through a filibustered senate. I doubt the insulin price cap will either.

I dunno, more and more of the GOP is starting to support cannabis legalization, as they begin to realize how much money it could bring into their struggling state economies.

My mom needed insulin but this was 15 years ago and I don't remember it being very expensive. I also see they have been trying to cap the price for some time. What a shame it comes to folks having to skimp on a med that's 100 years old.
The absurdly high cost of insulin, explained
Why Americans ration a drug discovered in the 1920s.

Insulin prices have seen a small decline. From 2014 to 2019, the average price per insulin unit rose 54%. However, from January 2020 to July 2023, prices dropped 10.6%.

Mitch is all for hemp. I doubt he is for legalizing recreational use of high THC cannabis.I dunno, more and more of the GOP is starting to support cannabis legalization, as they begin to realize how much money it could bring into their struggling state economies.
Boehner is though. But only because he's profiting from it. These guys always have a change of heart when the dollar signs start flashing.

The Dems don't know how to exercise power. They should bring these things to a vote on the Senate floor and force the Senators standing in the way to go on record as opposed to decriminalization.

Oh man i appreciate your input but im not going anywhere near those 2 words defining a political party...im just super happy something moved forward. When a 435 member body of elected officials representing each state get enough "yays" then that's pretty much America saying "fk your rules and what you think, we like pot"
