A broken rapist, racist, treasonous calendar is right once a year (or maybe once a decade).
Its doesn't undo a decade-long campaign to dismantle the country for profit and power. But it's nice that he finally did something positive.
Anyways, remember when he said the left would suddenly be against legalizing weed once he supported it, and everyone collectively said "fucking legalize it"?
he isn’t legalizing it:
and, he’s still a wrong calendar:
i also like the circular logic of saying it’s not safe because it’s a, “controlled substance”…
Oh, I know he's not legalizing it. Just commenting on how he said he would in the first term.
It is the tiniest step in the right direction to reclassify.
And 5 steps back.
This reminds me of an anti-drug story written on some government website (DEA? ONDCP?) I read years ago about a teenager who was a star athlete and straight-A student but got caught smoking weed and then got expelled and lost a scholarship or some such. I found it quite absurd considering this kid was doing so well "despite" using weed and every single negative aspect they listed was something being imposed by some third party as a form of punishment and had nothing to do with the substance use itself. Their messaging was basically "we'll ruin your life in order to protect you from yourself" and it makes me sad to think that this shitty ass logic works on so many people.
my medical marijuana doctor told me that jail was so incredibly bad for your health that a mj recommendation was his obligation under the Hippocratic Oath
