I just heard from a fellow activist that Senate hearings on state laws relating to “marijuana” legalization began this past Monday, August 10.
The good news is that Patrick Leahy is the chairman. The bad news is that the Senate is not a great forum for intelligent discussion of drug war issues, but real legislative change has to begin with Congress and I was told by my source that the witnesses have been generally positive and quite persuasive.
