“If Pot’s Legit … Blame Cannabinoids” ~ A Veterans Day Commentary on the Bryan William Brickner Blog
Supported by a Gallup poll showing 58% support for legalizing marijuana and building on recent national publications suggesting the same, political theorist Bryan W. Brickner offers a Veterans Day pathway to legal cannabis in the posting ~ If Pot’s Legit … Blame Cannabinoids.
With a new Gallup poll reporting 58% of Americans are in favor of legalizing marijuana, and a bevy of national commentaries on pot’s bright and changing future, political theorist Bryan W. Brickner gleans an offering and a pathway to legal cannabis in a new blog posting: "If Pot’s Legit … Blame Cannabinoids (Or, 270 + 51 + 1 = FMCA)."
“Changing a federal law has a known and constitutional pathway,” noted Brickner. “Creating that change involves many unknowns, one of which is clear: in three years, by Veterans Day 2016, we’ll have elected a new President and Commander-in-Chief.”
“Politically,” followed Brickner, “if we want to end pot prohibition, and a Gallup number of 58% foretells of this coming change, we need a new law. To do that, we have to get 270 House votes, 51 Senate votes, and President Obama’s signature – that’s the reality of what’s needed: 322 ‘Yes’ votes for federal cannabis change.”
“Many see ‘marijuana’ as a drug,” continued Brickner, “maybe more are starting to see a plant instead – and will soon learn that activating your cannabinoid system, through exercise and supplementation, is good for the human body: specifically, for veterans and citizens alike who suffer from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).”
“Pot’s legitimacy is grounded in cannabinoids,” closed Brickner, “perhaps making ‘Pot Cannabinoids’ the new PC.”
Brickner has a 1997 political science doctorate from Purdue University and is the author of several political theory books, to include Article the first of the Bill of Rights (2006) and The Book of the Is (2013). He is the publisher and one of many co-authors of The Cannabis Papers: A citizen’s guide to cannabinoids (2011), and recently released a 2016 presidential-cannabinoid essay on The Compassion Chronicles:Calling Steve About My 2016 Halloween Dream.
The Bryan William Brickner blog is a collection of published works and press coverage and an ongoing resource for the political science of constitutions and the biological science of cannabinoids.
