Dumb af, if MAGAts smoke enough weed they’ll forget that trump raped kids.
President Trump’s vaguely positive views on marijuana use and legalization have opened up yet another schism within the MAGA movement, as some hard-liners are reverting back to war on drugs–adjacent rhetoric to express their opposition to perhaps the most popular plant in America.
Last Friday it was reported that Trump told donors at an event that he is considering reclassifying marijuana from its current Schedule I level.
Can’t have people getting high and start being introspective and caring about others
Can’t have people get high and start thinking
Ngl I smoke pot to stop thinking, not start it.
I use weed to not feel as much emotion while I think things through. It does sometimes distort my thinking though
I hope they are ready to have their faces torn from their heads when they come for me because I am livid. I have noticed quite a spate of anti-marijuana articles including one yesterday talking about a hidden link between marijuana and schizophrenia which is just nuts.
I’m so sick of these fucking dweebs and I don’t want to share oxygen with them anymore.
Matt Walsh talks about whiskey so performatively I don’t think he actually likes it.
Also legalize pot to the same degree as alcohol and create a sustained treatment category of schedule 2 while you’re at it.
There’s surely enough to share, right?
This is a fantastic way to get non violent citizens locked up in for profit prisons for years on the taxpayers dime where shareholders profit.
This. We are back on the hunt on behalf of for-profit prisons.
Well he just lost his genz voters! Also lots of other generations.
“Our society thrived when everyone was smoking cigarettes and drinking whiskey,” wrote Daily Wire commentator Matt Walsh, completely ignoring the countless, well-documented, negative impacts (violence and death) of those two American vices. “We became the most powerful nation in the world with liquor and nicotine. No country of potheads has ever thrived, or ever achieved anything at all. Every city that legalized it became an even bigger shithole basically overnight. The entire history of western civilization tells us that marijuana is far, far worse for society.”
“Our society thrived when everyone was smoking cigarettes and drinking whiskey,”
Correlation vs causation.
You could say “we became the most powerful nation in the world with leaded gasoline and asbestos”. They were around at the same time too.
Honestly, those aren’t that much crazier than thinking smoking and drinking are somehow good for you. If this goes on, it’s only a matter of time.
I, for one, would encourage anyone who believes that kind of drivel to drink as much whiskey as is possible. The sooner they check out the better
Got it, bring back huffing gasoline and smoking asbestos cigarettes.
Zero thought involved. Remember that time we outlawed booze?
Combine it with this quote:
Far-right conspiracy theorist Jack Posobiec called people smoking weed outside a “huge factor” in violent crime in Washington, D.C. “States with legal weed you can just smell it all over in public,” he continued. “Can’t take kids anywhere.”
Because everything was so great when there was a nicotine haze in every restaurant. I don’t even like the smell of burning a joint, but I’ll take it over shitty cigarettes.
I do admit that a good cigar can smell really nice. But I have a family history of asthma as it is, and there’s no way I’m touching one.
That’s OK the illegal kind is still better
Not if you’re black or have a disease that needs it and you’re in a prison cell
Nah fuck that. Illegal pot kinda sucks and forces you to hang out with pot dealers which is such a coin flip. But regardless it’s still way better to just swing by a shop and pick up a thing of edibles to keep around.
You just need better people to get it from. I don’t deal with sketchy people.
Cool, but sometimes I just want pot. Like, best case scenario dealers have been women I occasionally hit up for weed and occasionally hit up for sex, which was pretty great in my early-mid 20s, at which point I’d get whatever they had to offer (their favorite bud, or maybe edibles from Michigan). It was pleasant but it was a whole ass thing and usually I had to buy in small quantities.
I’m in my 30s now, everywhere I’ve lived recently has had fully legal pot. It’s a minor errand no different from when I notice I’m a bit low on whiskey. Thanks to the legality and ease of purchase I just keep some on hand as a general analgesic for me and sleep aid for my wife. Also I don’t have to go find dealers anymore which is nice.
The 5 conservatives that actually give a shit about state’s rights are gonna be so pissed.
I’d rather my kid smell marijuana than smell cigarettes.
I’d rather my kid grow up and smoke weed, then get blacked out on Whiskey. And I like whiskey.
Awesome. That’s right, MAGA Morons, go after reefer, and wake up the sleeping giant of young people.
We should make this a major deal, and have Dem candidates declare that they will support full legalization. It will attract FAR more votes than it loses, and MANY of this votes will be first timers.
They should have supported full legalization from the very start. Almost everyone supports it yet no politician ever really cared. It never made sense.
It makes sense when you can easily put someone into forced labor for years for having a normal amount of it on them.
I’ve always thought the idea that we could stop wasting money on interdiction, and start making money on taxing it, and creating a new multi-billion dollar industry to help drive the economy. What more could they want?
But it turns out that there is actually something politicians like more than money - Control. Keeping weed illegal, and part of the War On Drugs, and making it as dangerous as Heroin, allows them to go after lots of young people, especially minorities.
Lock them up, put a felony on their record, and they can no longer vote against you, and their employment options are limited, so you always have low-wage slaves to hire or fire at will. Do that day in, day out, across the country for decades, and you have successfully restricted the ability of a demographic group to get results at the ballot box.
The ability to restrict minority votes takes precedence over creating a new economic powerhouse.
Yeah the “war on drugs” is just a way to keep having legal slaves. Which still blows my mind it was written into the thirteenth amendment, that amendment should be amended.
Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.
Like it should just say no slavery, not slavery with extra steps.
Shits fucked up.

Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory is their brand.
I like that people don’t get arrested for weed anymore, but I also don’t like the gentrification of it. I don’t want to buy weed from a VC funded apple store.
Buy seeds and all the stuff to grow tomatoes
You can still get it from Janice down the block. So what if it is a little seedy.
