We are in the current month amongst non-TNF bills, though that probably won't last long.


X, you have 24 hours to start speaking.


Also, just in case we get lucky. I ask unanimous consent to waive the cloture and minimum debate times, Senators have 24 hours to object.

First questions for myself and for everyone.

What is the current status of cocaine? Legal or decriminalized?

And what is the textbook defintion of the difference, since there was some confusion over that last time as I recall?

Was the law you cite changed at all by the comprehensive legislation we passed a few months ago?

No. It just confirmed the existing status with regard to cocaine.

So if this law being repealed here were repealed, Cocaine would remain decrminalized regardless correct?

No. Cocaine was exempted from that legislation because this law was on the books.

Why wasn't it just consolidated into such if the aim was for a comphrensive law, with this one being repealed? length?

Would it be appropriate, if this bill lacks the votes to pass on the merits to amend it so that whilst repealing said law, the contents get rolled into the comprehensive act at the very least?

Basically if we cannot reverse the law on cocaine, if we lack the votes basically, should we still possibly repeal the law and roll the decriminalization into the Comprehensive Act?

How so Senator? Is it that much harder to write a law striking out a few lines from a big bill then it is to write a law saying such and such is repealed?

The best way to do this would be to have an amendment offered and brought to a vote that adds a section to this bill incporating the terms of the act being repealed into the Comprehensive Act (repeal seperate law, add decriminalization to the Comprehensive Law). If we have the votes to recriminalize, the amendment will fail, if not it will pass.

I don't think a strong case was made for returning to the old system. That said I will be voting Aye, if for no other reason then to avoid a completely lopsided vote on this.


This bill has enough votes to fail, Senators have 24 hours to change their votes.
