The 5 conservatives that actually give a shit about state’s rights are gonna be so pissed.
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.
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.
And democrats will still find a way to lose.
Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory is their brand.
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.
Well he just lost his genz voters! Also lots of other generations.
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.
Last Friday it was reported that Trump told donors at an event that he is considering reclassifying marijuana from its current Schedule I level
That contradicts the title. Trump is looking at making it more legal, not less.
No contradiction at all:
Today I learned that the DEA doesn’t consider weed to have accepted medical use while cocaine does for the same use case (pain relief).
Cocaine is an analgesic. You can rub it on your skin and then cut into the skin without feeling anything. It’s pretty objectively useful for medical uses.
Trump said, “I’ve heard great things with it and medical, and terrible things with it and everything else”
So the plan would be to allow medical licenses for the rich white folks while cracking down on everyone else.
No country of potheads has ever thrived, or ever achieved anything at all.
Dude’s obviously never been to Silicon Valley, lol.
Lol. This is probably the only reason people haven’t revolted. Take away this, and they’ll overthrow you.
Matt Walsh is one of the most smarmy fucks around. I swear, some people listen to him because he has a nice haircut and smile.
I only wish he was older, like Trump, so we wouldn’t expect to have him on the earth for another two decades.
Trying to rewind the USA back to when we were all smoking cigarettes and drinking whisky is insane.
Honestly, it wasn’t that hard to get illegal marijuana. All this will do is cut tax revenue and increase crime.
Republicans don’t actually want to stop crime. They want to act like tough guys, punish those they don’t like and make sure their “team” can get away with crimes.
If anything, they REALLY want an “easy” crime to crack down on, so this is why they are making literally everything illegal, like porn and weed and having a penis in the wrong room or glancing at a cop without a smile on your face.
“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.”
Dumbest fucking take I’ve read regarding weed in the U.S. in probably the past two decades. This is another one of those things that’s like so low on the list of outrageous things that require attention right now, but it’s just so fucking unbelievably dumb that it somehow becomes salient enough to become noticable in the chaos that is the normal background.
The way he is so confidently trying to gaslight society like an overbearing parent, as if we have no frame of reference regarding marijuana policy other than what we learned in D.A.R.E.
Those shithole city’s with their absurd abundance of tax revenue from marijuana sales.
Opioid sparing effects in Medicare enrollees with access to medical marijuana.
Fewer lives ruined due to a reduction of nonviolent incarceration.
I’m not sure what kind of utopia Matt Walsh believes he is advocating for by rolling back even more evidence based progress, but it sounds like a shithole.
Yeah, it’s Matt Walsh of the Daily Wire. A dumb shit take is an achievement for that crowd.
Nah, a good take would be an achievement. Dumb shit takes is their bread and butter over in editorial land there.
I just mean that their average is well beneath dumbshit.
Oh I know I was just making a joke 😅
He wants to go back to a “utopia” where it’s ok to beat your wife
~~Its ok ~~ It’s EXPECTED to beat your wife, how dare she get uppity??? /s
I’m so sick of these fucking dweebs and I don’t want to share oxygen with them anymore.
A guy at my work place swore that Trump was about to legalize pot
Read the article. He is talking about changing its schedule, yes.
Which does have backing. This is coming out because Trump said he wanted to reschedule THC. Not all of MAGA is behind this.
Anyway, release the Epstein files.
Between rescheduling THC and calling the UK out on its bullshit, Trump’s dangerously close to being chill for once…
…Is what I’d say if this shit wasn’t going on Points to ICE treating brown skin like a crime in and of itself Oh and ya know those threats to send the military into blue states…
No shit, it’s a fantastic excuse to arrest and detain/deport people for holding plants while you’re out there obliterating 4th amendment rights.
Dumb af, if MAGAts smoke enough weed they’ll forget that trump raped kids.
