No country of pot heads ever thrived
Uh... Dude doesn't even know US history. Our biggest cultivated product pre-revolution was hemp. Several founding fathers, including Washington, cultivated and consumed cannabis. We are a country of pot heads. While the driving forces to ban it here were entirely because of racism and greed.
So Hamilton was probably a stoner? Cool!
"Give me the chronic, or give me death!"
I am not throwin' away my pot! 🎵
High-five
Hamilton was a huge piece of shit.
Trump has never once in his life made an effort to know a single thing, and if there's one thing he knows the least about, it's the history of the country he leads.
I guess they might also want to revert back to the glory days when the nation was so consistently and pervasively drunk off its ass that prohibition actually passed.
Does this person have a child? That child won't make it as an adult because they've historically never made it as an adult :3
Edit: this is a random example :333333333
Fun fact Herodotus hot boxed with the Scythians.
Can’t have people getting high and start being introspective and caring about others
Can't have people get high and start thinking
Well, now I'm gonna have some weed tonight just to spite them. I'm in Canada so they aren't coming for mine...........yet
It's just a matter of time. Fascists are not kind to their neighbours.
Elbows up.
Already there, in MI sadly so they can pry my bong from my cold dead hands.
Glad you added the yet
Someone must have found out it contains benefits and brings good to the world. Better kill it!
“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.
Zero thought involved. Remember that time we outlawed booze?
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.
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.
As the article states, Trump is considering rescheduling marijuana making it easier to sell. It's the right wing influencers who oppose it. The GOP politicians love weed because it makes people apathetic and sit out elections
I have been stoned every day since August 1995. I assure you, I have never sat out an election.
Based
Man, there's some biases in there you should probably unpack.
lol good luck. The supply chain is so big that the growers and supplies won’t go away any time soon or 10 years. You’re just being back 90s drug deals. I guess dumbass republicans hate money.
That’s OK the illegal kind is still better
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.
There’s surely enough to share, right?
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.
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.
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.
Dumb af, if MAGAts smoke enough weed they’ll forget that trump raped kids.
