Mike Baker, a former CIA officer and current podcast presenter, told Joe Rogan believes it's time to legalise marijuana. On the broadcast, Mike stated that "it should be decriminalised" due to difficulties such as veterans taking medicinal marijuana while healing from injuries or diseases at Walter Reed Medical Center without being punished as long as they follow procedure.
A podcast with 2020 Democratic contender and former Vice President of the United States, Tim Kaine, was broadcast on The Joe Rogan Experience. During their conversation on March 10th, 2021 (episode #25), Baker told Mr., "the horse has left the barn," regardless of whether you believe in cannabis or not; even though there may be some hope that Biden's administration will do something about marijuana legalisation when he takes office next week.
This was barely a month after Senator Chuck Schumer declared his support for the repeal of Federal Prohibition.
Baker informed Rogan He just invested in a cannabis company. His company, Diligence, is known for high-level investigations and security consulting with clients such as federal law enforcement agencies worldwide, including CIA Operatives who have worked abroad to combat terrorism threats against Americans but now focus on domestic issues such as human trafficking or managing UAV operations from home ground control stations."
A former CIA officer recently invested in the cannabis industry and informed Rogan, who has long advocated for legalisation. "I'm starting to believe," Baker remarked, "not just because it's amusing or whatever; I think we need this right now." The two talked about how societal concerns like these may be broken down using math problems.
We can't deny that cannabis is a part of our everyday lives. We live in a time when it is being legalised across America, but there are still many issues related to this plant that need to be addressed—especially when people want to make money off drugs without having to pay taxes on them or provide services required by banks, which may refuse services if they have concerns about where customers get their funds from (in other words-they're too afraid).
Baker stated that his organisation intends to "attack things from a different way." He continued by saying, "I've done some work" - a few of gigs.
"We're going to go genuine," Baker, who is backed by rapper Snoop Dogg, added. He went on to say that his business, Casa Verde Capital, is "kind of an early step." Every week, you'll receive the most recent UFC news in your email! Subscriptions are available now:
The intersection of sports betting and commerce has been developing for some time, but never with such accelerated momentum as in recent months as a result of legalisation across multiple states, including New Jersey, which took effect on July 3rd, 2017, making it legal coincide with the start of the Monmouth Park track Horse racing facility located just outside of New York City.
The role of Joe Biden
John Biden, the Democratic nominee for President of the United States in 2020, has asked for marijuana to be decriminalised and rescheduled at the federal level. His party's platform also encourages states that have legalised medical or recreational cannabis use through their respective legislatures/legislators to conduct more research into how it can help people suffering from chronic pain and other illnesses without making them feel penalised by current laws against possession penalties associated with drug offences, even if they are licenced medicinal dispensaries operating within state guidelines.
The political landscape
Many 2020 presidential candidates have come out in favour of legalising marijuana. Joe Biden has also stated his support for rescheduling the substance, placing him on par with other contenders, such as Elizabeth Warren, who have stated that if elected president, they will legalise cannabis.
The current administration, led by President Trump, has not made any announcements on the subject, but during last year's election campaign, Biden stated his position, which is for fully legalising and regulating its use—a departure from Obama-era policies in which federal law enforcement pursued arrests related specifically to Proposition 215.
According to the Democratic platform for the 2020 DNC, "Democrats believe that no one should be imprisoned just because they use drugs." The statement also asks on President Obama's government to decriminalise and reschedule marijuana by executive action.
The Drug Policy Alliance's (DPA) director of national affairs, Maritza Perez, told The Verge, "I think Biden agrees," after stating that expunging prior records is their objective.
At this point, the government can no longer ignore marijuana legalisation. This Congress and the Biden administration must approve legislation to criminalise it under democratic control, including racial reparations for communities wrongfully penalised by America's so-called War on Drugs.
Marijuana legalisation has recently become a heated subject. The recent events in Colorado and Washington state have prompted many individuals to wonder when it will be proper for their respective nations or states. To get an answer to this issue, we need just go to Canada, which authorised medicinal marijuana in 1998. (and then recreational shortly thereafter).
In truth, cannabis is still illegal in 19 states in the United States: Alaska, California, Hawaii, Louisiana, Maryland, and Massachusetts are among the states represented. Montana Nevada Newark, New Jersey Oklahoma Oregon Providence, Rhode Island South Dakota (SD) Utah Wisconsin Wyoming

Although possession has been decriminalised in Louisiana since 2003, you might still face fines or prison time if found with less than one ounce under the law. Maryland also has exclusions, allowing only those diagnosed by doctors and certified as qualified based on certain conditions.
