Why are only 11 senators in support of this?

Because the rest are old farts with reefer madness
Of the 11 that signed, the average age is 65
I haven’t checked all of their ages, but Bernie and Warren alone probably raise the average by 10 years.
Elizabeth Warren (Mass.),
John Fetterman (Pa.)
Chuck Schumer (N.Y.)
Cory Booker (N.J.)
Jeff Merkley (Ore.)
Kirsten Gillibrand (N.Y.)
Ron Wyden (Ore.)
John Hickenlooper (Colo.)
Peter Welch (Vt.)
Chris Van Hollen (Md.)
Alex Padilla (Calif.).
Edit: and Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.)
how evil, maybe one day people will understand that marijuana, along with all the other drugs that people seem to think aren’t harmful despite having existed in our societies for 100 years, are a threat to individuals, the broader society, and deserve to be completely outlawed
Conorm is a troll account
But alcohol is cool right? Tobacco?
alcohol is because we’ve had it for thousands of years and it has been known to be fine when consumed in moderation (something 99% of people can do), whereas tobacco is not something that you can just “smoke on occasion”, it is exclusively smoked either by those trying it for the first time, or by those who are hooked already (not to mention the fact that alcohol is much worse than tobacco over a lifetime regardless)
It turns out that even “moderate” alcohol consumption is likely very bad for you.
false, i can’t name a single person i know who has suffered medical issues related to alcohol consumption who i know personally
You’re not even trying at this point.

That’s not a very effective way to form your understanding of the world.
it’s one that evidently works
Wow, when are they giving you the novel price for your extra science-y methods of sciencing?
If only those loser scientists knew they could get their answers by casually observing a few of their friends we could’ve had hover cars by now.
my thoughts exactly
Weak bait
Got a list of books that need burning too?
Well, you’re completely wrong. On so many levels.
First, the majority of other people don’t obsess over finding things to be afraid of. You did not base your opinion on any kind of empirical evidence. You need something to be afraid of in other to justify your perspective, and drugs are an easy target. Second, with regards to hard drugs that do present a clear danger to the user, prohibition is not effective and never will be. Addiction is a medical issue. Criminalization denies the victim any realistic chance of rehabilitation, not to mention penalizing them in specific ways that will only be likely to increase their likelihood of abusing drugs in the future.
Way to broadcast your lack of empathy for your fellow man
sorry but you’re wrong
