Hi my name is Dennis Schuller I am running to represent the state of Minnesota as one of our two United States Senators.
I would like to think that honesty, integrity, hard work, and practical sense have a place in our system of government, if so I am the right person for the job. Yes cannabis should be legalized but what exactly does that mean? My main points of focus will be at the federal level as a US senator.
-
Abolish the controlled substance act
-
Stop workplace discrimination
-
End systemic racism
-
Change unreasonable search and seizure laws
-
Do provide honest information to help people
-
Distribute healing plant seeds so people can grow their own medicine
-
End homework for kids a day at school is enough
You might be saying this guy has a one track mind what does he think about the real issues? Prohibition is a real issue that so many other issues come from, we honestly tried to just say “no” but it didn’t work. These days with all the cell phones, computers, and other surveillance tracking there is no denying that the age of accountability and truth is upon us. Not to mention this flowering plant was only made illegal based on fear of the immigrants bolstered by lies and deliberate misinformation from our government. Now think of all the bad stuff that has happened during cannabis prohibition, the ensuing drug war, the world wide preoccupation with “drugs”, the underground gang activity, the police state, the private prisons, and most importantly the question of personal safety still lingers. After all this and ninety years of prohibition I think it is time to reset and focus on actual crimes that violate a person’s life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
At the state level I recommend
-
Immediate decriminalization There should be no situation where law enforcement is targeting individuals for substance use or using possession of a controlled substance as a reason to attack people or invade their homes.
-
Workplace discrimination Employment drug testing is an invasion of privacy and is not indicative of a person’s ability to do their job. Workers compensation should not be withheld because someone tests positive for THC In the case of an accident at work, this is an insurance company scam.
-
Cannabis is a sacred plant to many and should be treated with respect. In addition the drug war has left many casualties and people are still in jail, which is why at least at first legalization should be limited to medicinal uses, homegrown, and use within a private establishment like a club. What should not be allowed is retail sale and commercial advertisement.
