Reply to comment by dcdttu in Russian President Vladimir Putin unwittingly accelerated the European Union’s green transition with his war in Ukraine, with the 27-nation bloc reducing its dependency on Russian fossil fuels and increasing its renewable energy use over the past year, the EU’s climate czar said Tuesday. by MrGuttFeeling
War has an odd habit of accelerating change and technology. It took a war to get us from flying as seeing as something inconvenient to intercontinental flight (World War 1). It took another war to get flying from 'convenience ' to 'get us to the moon' (World War 2). It took a war to show us the power of the atom, and harness it for nuclear energy (Again WW2). Hell, the Cold War gave us the internet (and therefore Reddit). A war to change how we view our common man (WW1 ended a lot of monarchies and was a great equalizer in many ways).

At least in my state there isn’t a single available license.

A promise he could not keep. The federal support isnt there.

Like I said before, if regular Americans could get loans from banks to start their own cannabis business, it wouldn't be exclusive to people who are already clearly very well off, that includes getting any of the limited available licenses.
Don't get me started on the necessity for cannabis cultivation unions for workers.

I mean given how absolutist and stridently incorrect you are, I'm going to doubt you voted the first time around. I listed a number of things this Congress has made progress on (because imagining that the government consists of one person is childish), but I can go through specifics if you'd like them?
Politifact's tracker shows him at 25% promises completed, 35% in progress, 32% stalled (guess why) and exactly 1% broken.
"Any".

NH is sandwiched between Maine, where it's legal, and Mass, where it's legal. At the coast, the I 95 would take you all of 35 minutes to drive from southern Maine through NH and into Mass. To have a dry island like that is untenable.

That would require there to be more licenses to get at the point.

Do you know what it will do? Allow people to get loans from a bank to open up a cannabis business, making it no longer an exclusive business to people with wealth.
One of my good friends owns a 12 million dollar brewery, want to take a guess who was able to get multiple loans from different banks to start their business, without needing to rely on investors who expect more returns back on their investment, than banks ever would?

I candidly said that was when I started paying attention to politics. Reagan was abit before my time.

Federal legalization won’t override state rules on sale or production.

Considering he hasn't fulfilled any campaign promises so far, and has just simped for corporate profits, he can sit on a cactus if he thinks I'm voting for him.

From what I recall, they tried to do it and Republicans blocked it. I don't really count that as a misfire.
A misfire in that sense would be more like the Lib Dems in the UK promising to do it, but forming a coalition with The Bloody Tories to get into power, in which they were the minority. They couldn't do it, the Tories and the Tory press blamed them, and they fell so far back out of power that we are essentially back to a two-party system. On top of that, they gave Cameron power, which is the domino that led the UK to its current shitbiscuit status.
Which the youth vote in the USA may want to take a few lessons from...

If one big time Republican donor says they're for it, you can bet Kim Reynolds will be on her knees with her dentures out to make it happen.

With so many states legalising, and society somehow managing to not suddenly collapse under a hemp apocalypse, I think the inflection point is pretty near.
