I thought the same thing

I am glad we are actually starting to focus on the scheduling issue. its a fucking travesty that we keep MJ on the same list as heroin when time and time again it has been proven to have medical benefits and no dangerous side effects.

bro that's in iowa.  Bible belt and all.  25 years ago it probably would have been less than one. Honestly that's a lot of progress that 24% of iowans favor full legalization.

I too am very stoked by this. Hopefully they don't drag this out forever before it's implemented.
