The Biden administration said Friday that it had terminated five White House staffers over marijuana use as it tries to balance federal law and hiring guidelines with the drug's legalization in numerous states.
Bro I smoke all day everyday. Work all day every day climbed the corporate ladder smoking every day all day. Trust me ill keep up with anybody that you know and most will. Only highschoolers get stuck on pot.
Genuinely curious. Why do you feel the need to be intoxicated all day/ every day? Or rather- what’s so wrong with being clear headed and sober? At least for part of the day?
Don’t get me wrong…I love herb and smoke on occasion but… sheesh.
Lol I work in corporate america now came up welding and millwrighting to safety to safety management. In june we were required to wear rainbow shirts are be fired. Needless to say I got fired for not biting my tongue about that and more liberal ass policies on the day I ran out of weed. I wish I was joking.. I couldn't take the loonacy and snapped at a board meeting.. if I was smoking i would have just laugjed at their ignorance and kept making 74 dollars an hour
No it had to be their pride shirts... with their logo. I conviently showed up late to the group photos for social media... "ohhh damn I missed it I thought yall said 12 tomorrow not today.. had a jogger boss that wanted us to go to the civil rights museum to show what HIS people been through and us being white just would never understand... listening to my black boss tell me how I had privilege. While everyone knows he was a dei hire who was never at work always at "another site" call that site nobody seen him.. his white boss saying we cant fire him because if we fire him we have to hire another black person to fill the spot. Even after we had life threat situations he claimed he had fixed yet we go to the field and they were still there. Evwn with proven lies in email couldnt get him fired .. yet I had to be perfect every fucking day. Because we were told. And get this the jogger boss was fired from alabama highway patrfor never showing up to work. Driving the patrol car for personal business and showing up to wrecks in civilian clothes in the patrol car "delegating " those investigations to city and county officers.officeor.. yet he done the same behavior at my job. But being he had sued the alabama highway patrol they were scared he would sue too... he was a gay black preacher.prachir.. lmfao.. look up "micheal mcfield Mississippi highway patrol naacp"
No it had to be their pride shirts... with their logo.
Yeah, I would have to respectfully decline that, put in a request for religious accomodation, and document/record everything. I'm not celebrating anyone's sexuality; straight, gay, furfags, trannies or whatever. That has no business in the workplace. It is also not a place to share your sexual exploits. Talk about it over beers after work, on your own time.
I use as a medication. I am a very very violent man with out weed to be perfectly honest. Ive been on everything prescribable. Either makes your dick not work. Or your memory so bad you cant function to work or be productive.. so as you say intoxicated I havent been in years. I can smoke 1 gram dabs and still function normally. I dont get high I just dont feel the rage to snap and go Timothy McVeigh or John wilkes booth like on a normal day..
Nothing a bullet to your brain couldnt fix either the way I see it. Go fuck yourself for supporting an old democrat law. Your founding fathers of this country grew pot it was required to grow pot. Next God made it and his words say all green things was here for medicine amd food. So you are saying democrats are right and god is wrong.. gooooo fuck yourself with that big black dildo you thought nobody knew you ordered off amazon
Not the person you were asking but for me I enjoy microdosing. It's an enhancement... food tastes better, swimming feels better, music is more moving/engaging, comedy is a lot funnier, sex is a lot more intense...
I'm sober a lot more than I am high but I like to take little nips off of my oil/resin pen throughout the day... it just makes life better and more tolerable. The mundane bullshit doesn't bring you down as much... the good stuff is a lot better.
It's like going into your personal settings and turning up the contrast and brightness a bit.
Agreed. I'm not rich. But I clear 150 a year and put my wife through undergrad and two master's programs. I smoke when I wake up. I smoke during and after my workout 30 minutes later. I smoke on my way to work. I smoke on my breaks. I smoke on my way home and smoke once I get there.
Not a person on the planet would look at me and say "pothead." But I promise they would.hate the monster I am without it. And it's not a chemical dependency thing. Since I was a small kid I've thrived on beating people. As an adult.ive learned to turn the outward show off. But when I'm angry, it burns me up inside.
Ron Paul's view on marijuana is what got my attention (dude, legal weed lmao). Him making me look into Federal Reserve and how the money machine actually works is why I voted for him every election until Trump.
Yeah how the machine treated Ron Paul was a huge eye-opener for me. He was constantly winning dick-measuring contests in terms of donations or straw polls and the media just straight up pretended he didn't exist. Obama (and the lapdog media) shamelessly stole the "micro-donation" meme from Ron Paul when it was pure BS.
I never really saw that again until Trump and was like "oh look everyone I hate on both sides of the aisle are seething over this one guy. Must be legit"
But yet, there will still be single issue voters who will. Likely people who don't even vote, but will get out because muh weed.
This is an issue we could have fucking won 10x over already, and pulled that rug out from under them, if our side would have just legalized it and been done with it.
Everyone I know who smokes gives zero fucks whether it's legal in their state or not, and most of them have for years. Most of those people also don't cause anyone any issues and a lot of them don't even drink.
But you know, fundamentalist retardation demands that we can't allow someone to smoke fucking weed. Nosir, no way, no how. Nope, they're a menace to society and we should tell everyone what they can or can't do with their body, while somehow at the same fucking time, screaming about how they're persecuted for their religion.
I don't even give a fuck about weed, but my god, if we'd have just legalized the shit and moved on, we could be done with the issue.
Instead, we just hand it to the dems because reasons. And they WILL use it to their advantage. I've long since thought they were holding onto it as a hail mary, maybe this is the time.
Whoa……. What about all the people that smoked a joint and got schizophrenia…… you know, the ones that every refer madness retard here pretends they knew in highschool ? We have too many faggots here that are fine controlling what people do as long as it fits into their faggot narrative.
I'm old enough to remember when people were led to believe Obama would legalize marijuana. Even Politico had to admit Obama was a dissapointment for the pro-cannabis crowd. So when Biden is making these promises, remind your pothead friends they do the same thing every time, yet never follow through.
Or maybe we should be the ones to follow through instead of trying to make arguments about how “they always do this, they’re not gonna follow through. But hey, I’m DEFINITELY not going to support it as a Republican.”
Kind of a weak case to try to make.
Don’t vote for them, because they probably won’t do it, again.
Vote me is because we DEFINITELY won’t do and will make sure you know up front.
The problem with that strategy is you have to take a stance which may lose more voters than you gain. The cannabis issue is not popular among older voters, who tend to vote Republican. The voters gained would likely be a small handful of big-city potheads while voters lost could be significantly more.
The politicians who re-frame the issue are the only ones who can win the support of both groups I mentioned. Making it a state-level issue and giving a deadline for states to decide their own laws before re-scheduling would be the best possible stance on the cannabis issue.
Ending the war on the drugs is something Republicans should jump behind. It's exactly the small government conservatism that people like to see. If there is one thing we've learned about the war on drugs it's that it's been an expensive failure.
It's not over since we are still sending money for drugs across the border. Clinging to this quasi it's over status isn't doing us any favors. And that's my point, we need to legalize it so our country is keeping the drug money instead of sending it south.
We won't, though, because there are still far too many religious fundamentalists stuck 100 years in the past who believe it's quite literally the devils cabbage, and will do anything to ensure they get to tell you that you can't use it - meanwhile, screaming about how they're persecuted for their fucking religion.
The zealots on our side have caused us almost as many problems as the actual fucking left.
You can't afford pot anymore. The only thing that helps me sleep soundly throughout the night are indica gummies. They used to be $18 for 20 pieces (which I cut in half), then went to $23 about 2 years ago, now they're $30.
Edibles are remarkably easy to make. Also if you're eating distillate gummies, it's all the same. The only time its strain-specific is with full spectrum edibles like hash rosin gummies.
I'm reminded of the Daniel Tosh joke "You know what, I support legalizing weed. Not because I like to get high, but because then the potheads will finally talk about something else."
I always tell people that if you’re caught with weed, just tell the cop that it’s hemp. They’ll never get around to testing it, and the case will be dismissed.
Proving someone has THC is cheap. Proving that it’s over 3% THC is expensive.
You're allowed to lie to cops, just don't lie to feds.
They are both allowed to lie to you, but you can only lie to one of them and sometimes you can't even lie to them (like instances when you are legally required to identify yourself you can't refuse or give false information)
What Trump did was great but you're absolutely incorrect, it's only legal with a very low THC content by weight. It's not "legal everywhere" until you can not commit a felony by crossing state lines and until the faggot ATF removes the question about it from their gay little form when purchasing a gun.
Not just that... hemp has very low quantities of THC... the law says that THC content has to be a small percentage of the total weight.
There was a headshop in KC, MO I used to go to that sold hemp-based THC gummies. They were like 9:1 CBD:THC and tasted a lot like plant material, but they were legal under the law.
I liked that place because they published their lab results on every individual batch.
Compare that to living in Blue State New York where weed is legal (it wasn't in MO when I lived there) -- headshops just sell bootleg gummies made with THC oil right out in the open because they know enforcement is so lax / impossible.
Can't find a lab result to save my life. I just find it ironic that I had a better supply of trustworthy THC in a (then-) illegal state than I do in a legal state.
I don't live anywhere near NYC (thank god) but I still wouldn't even know where to begin to find one of the state-sanctioned dispensaries.
This state is so fucked. Even beyond your worst assumptions.
(Before anyone asks, a company threw a virtually impossible to refuse amount of money at my wife to move here)
In KCMO? Nah, it wasn't that one. I think it was just called KC Smoke and Vape but they had their own house brand of the hemp gummies... Happy Panda or something?
I did not enjoy the plant taste because of the massive amounts of hemp needed for a 10mg edible, but I couldn't argue with the lab results. That just speaks to a business's transparency and integrity imo.
This guy fucks. I bought and eighth of 31% THCA just the other day completely legally. When you heat it with a lighter it converts to delta 9 thc at 30%ish which is stupid powerful levels of delta 9.
Not really. It had been a few years since I smoke the devils lettuce. Although when I did quit I was smoking a ton, typical stoner shit. THCA is great (flower not a pen mixed with other cannabinols), I do not trust any of the other thc’s out there. Thcp,thco, all the different ones they put in the vape pens, and what not.
Would much rather be able to grow my own plant but can’t to do that so thca is a good alternative. It will make you pop positive on a piss test, and if you have it in a warm place the heat can convert enough thca into delta 9 thc it can pop positive on police test over time.
That is a ridiculous statement and it comes from fake conservatives trying to assume that the DA drops minor charges and hits them with the bigger ones. But just because that happens, doesn't mean it always happens. Marijuana is a schedule 1 drug according to the federal government, people go to jail for simply possessing large quantities of it all the time... you just think because the feds considered it "enough to be considered a dealer" means they were only charged with drug dealing. Also anyone on parole always gets hit with max charges in order to violate their parole with the violation.
If they want to fuck you over, simple possession is more than enough.
An actual conservative who believes in freedom and liberty and individual rights wouldn't be advocating banning a plant that you can't OD on.
Coffee, alcohol, and tobacco are all much worse for you than marijuana but i can get all three doordashed to my house in 20 minutes.
Name one. "Simply" for "large quantities" rotflmao look dipshit just like every pothead libtard out there you cannot name one person in PRISON for normal marijuana use. Know why? Because there isn't.
Hey dickhead, i said multiple times "possession of large quantities"... but just like a typical leftist degenerate you misconstrue what someone is saying, take it out of context, then use that pile of shit you've mounded up to throw at someone.
Would I go to prison for growing 4 plants in a 3x3’ tent in my pool house? Yup. I’d be hit with 4 felonies. For growing plants. They’re plants. Very similar to the plants that founded this country. The fact that alcohol isn’t just legal, but has a multi billion dollar propaganda arm behind it, pushed on tv, on billboards and in magazines, while growing a plant gets you a felony, is pure fucking idiocy. It’s a much safer high than weed, leads to way less violence/death, and is cheap as all get out. No one is being harmed when I smoke a bowl at night after a long day of work. No one is harmed if I have some plants growing in my house. Countless people are harmed by alcohol every fucking day. Either tell me you want them both illegal, or fuck off with your stupid, senseless arguments.
Thats a blatant lie that fake conservatives use all the time as a loophole so they can keep pretending they actually support freedom and individual liberties.
Maybe he can pardon some of those that Kamala Harris railroaded when she was prosecutor in California. My friend was one of them. Too bad he didn't set a courthouse on fire or she would have bailed him out. But having a few too many weed plants in his basement now that was not gonna fly under her watch. A guy who didn't ever steal from or hurt anyone. Didn't even own a weapon.
Lmao at the downvotes. They probably drink too. Imagine thinking you’re superior to potheads and heroin addicts while you ingest a more dangerous drug because commercials and college culture told you it was cool 😂
I wish he would, but I doubt it. Dems like promising stuff like weed legalization or student debt cancellation without following through. That way, they can use it as bait for votes election after election with a new crop of naive voters.
Remember that 4.5 million (including myself*) voted for Gary Johnson in 2016...
I wish I could say that all Libertarian Party voters are Thomas Jefferson / Ayn Rand / Ludwig von Mises nerds (like myself), but a lot of them are primarily motivated against the prohibitionist thugs.
(*Needless to say, I put on the MAGA hat as soon as Trump proved himself in 2017, and of course voted for him in 2020.)
I read Atlas Shrugged this year, finally. Probably should’ve read the fountainhead first but I’m on We The Living right now. I wish I could be as good at anything as Ayn was as writing in her 2nd language. AS quickly became the best book I’ve ever read. And longest.
Honestly one of trump’s largest missed opportunities. He should of demanded it be removed entirely from scheduling, federally putting it on the same level as alcohol, and telling the states they have to hold a vote for if it will be legal or not in that state.
He should say he will, and if the dems decide they need to before trump, trump can campaign on it took him to saying he would do something to make the dems do anything.
I rarely smoke weed. I don't go out of my way to buy it but will occasionally take a couple hits off a joint if someone passes it around. It makes me paranoid and anxious but that's just my reaction to it. Who the fuck am I to tell someone they can't smoke weed while I'm drinking a case of beer? This really irks me with so-called freedom lovers. Stop telling people what to do. You're imposing your will on others the same way leftist fags do. Stop it.
Wouldn't it be great if when they came to my door I could shoot them in the face? This is a different take for me because I used to think I could save people with knowledge. Now I'm emploring people to get their 7th booster. I call them anti-vaxxers if they haven't had their monkeypox shot. By design, I know that these people are beyond repair. The herd will cull itself. It's the most humane method. Doesn't make it right but it is what it is. There are no white hats. If you want to continue your lineage you will get into animal husbandy and Walapinis. You can get hundreds of pounds of meat in a year from three rabbits.
This shit makes our side look foolish, and WE should be the ones promoting an end to idiotic drug prohibition. We're supposed to be the side in favor of individual freedom and limited government. Why would a conservative want OUR SERVANTS in government dictating what YOU can and can't ingest into YOUR own body at gunpoint? I find that stance fucking pathetic. (Govern me harder daddy! Harder!) Do you really trust our government that much? REALLY?
And here's the hilarious and depressing part. Those so called conservatives are actually helping enforce a United Nations decree to criminalize drugs. It was called the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs, and the legislation that fulfilled it in the United States was passed by a Democrat congress after being introduced by a Democrat. You're literally defending globalist leftism. Ask yourself why statist leftists would want drugs illegal and highly regulated. It gives government almost as much power as criminalizing guns, and you're defending it? 🤦
Go ahead and downvote. I don't give a shit. I'll proudly defend individual freedom even if nobody on the planet agrees with me. I don't need these fucking idiots in our government deciding what I'm not allowed to put into my body, the same way I don't need them deciding what I MUST put into my body. I actually believe in freedom.
Besides, I live in a state where pot has been legal for years now. We're also the state with the least amount of violent crime. It has had no noticeable negative effect whatsoever. The only difference is that free citizens can engage in fairly harmless behavior without fear of a tyrannical state descending on them.
Well, I did see what looked like a couple meth pipes in front of the bus stop by the pot shop the other day, which I wouldn't have seen a few years ago. But correlation doesn't equal causation.
I see a lot of pot shops in town, maybe as many as liquor stores. But with all the other issues our country is facing, I can't really tell what effect easier marijuana access may have had. It was de facto legal before, anyway.
When you get let out of jail, please remember that Biden could have done this on day 1, but chose to strategically keep you in prison for 3.5 years for his own convenience.
The Dems could have legalize pot years ago. They've had veto proof margins before. I think Zero's first few years and slick Willie's first few. (Probably wrong but too lazy to look it up lol)
Beware, Trudeau successfully used this issue to win his first term as PM. It worked and was won him at least a million votes in an electorate of 13-15 million, and where the top 2 parties get 5-7million votes each. It drove a major increase in turnout of first time and irregular voters that put him over the top while the conservative party vote was effectively unchanged.
Pot heads are what causes all this shit. They can't think straight. Blame everyone for everything because they are lazy as shit pot-heads. Look at California. All Pot-heads.
Oh that guy that passed the crime bill that incarcerated people for minor infractions? That guy??

Fuck that I woulda gone ballistic, no weed needed.

Damn son, you been smoking so long that you forgot how to control your emotions when sober!
Never was able to.. lol
Fair enough. Makes sense
I use as a medication. I am a very very violent man with out weed to be perfectly honest. Ive been on everything prescribable. Either makes your dick not work. Or your memory so bad you cant function to work or be productive.. so as you say intoxicated I havent been in years. I can smoke 1 gram dabs and still function normally. I dont get high I just dont feel the rage to snap and go Timothy McVeigh or John wilkes booth like on a normal day..
Get this man a big blunt before he snaps!
Bonus: when it's go time you're ready.
Nothing a bullet to your brain couldnt fix either the way I see it. Go fuck yourself for supporting an old democrat law. Your founding fathers of this country grew pot it was required to grow pot. Next God made it and his words say all green things was here for medicine amd food. So you are saying democrats are right and god is wrong.. gooooo fuck yourself with that big black dildo you thought nobody knew you ordered off amazon
Go suck off Harry Anslinger the democrat you worship
Not the person you were asking but for me I enjoy microdosing. It's an enhancement... food tastes better, swimming feels better, music is more moving/engaging, comedy is a lot funnier, sex is a lot more intense...
I'm sober a lot more than I am high but I like to take little nips off of my oil/resin pen throughout the day... it just makes life better and more tolerable. The mundane bullshit doesn't bring you down as much... the good stuff is a lot better.
It's like going into your personal settings and turning up the contrast and brightness a bit.
I often wonder why more people don't.
Agreed. I'm not rich. But I clear 150 a year and put my wife through undergrad and two master's programs. I smoke when I wake up. I smoke during and after my workout 30 minutes later. I smoke on my way to work. I smoke on my breaks. I smoke on my way home and smoke once I get there.
Not a person on the planet would look at me and say "pothead." But I promise they would.hate the monster I am without it. And it's not a chemical dependency thing. Since I was a small kid I've thrived on beating people. As an adult.ive learned to turn the outward show off. But when I'm angry, it burns me up inside.
Smoking keeps that from happening.
Exactly.. god put all green things here for food or medicine. He knew guys like us was out here
Amen and hallelujah. The truth! My brother speaks it. Every blessed word.
And I also enjoy being stoned. There ain't shit wrong with that.
How’s your heart rate working out? Smoking mj spikes it quite a bit just doing nothing.
My resting rate is less than 50bpm. Sometimes I smoke a skitchy strain that will elevate it. Not usually.
Cool, it’s worth keeping an eye on though. Having weed as schedule 1 is retarded and it should be up to the states.

I've been high but I've never been high enough to think voting Dem was a good idea
Noone's ever been high enough to be as incoherent as Kamala.
One time I got high and voted for Ron Paul.
You mean based.
Ron Paul's view on marijuana is what got my attention (dude, legal weed lmao). Him making me look into Federal Reserve and how the money machine actually works is why I voted for him every election until Trump.
Yeah how the machine treated Ron Paul was a huge eye-opener for me. He was constantly winning dick-measuring contests in terms of donations or straw polls and the media just straight up pretended he didn't exist. Obama (and the lapdog media) shamelessly stole the "micro-donation" meme from Ron Paul when it was pure BS.
I never really saw that again until Trump and was like "oh look everyone I hate on both sides of the aisle are seething over this one guy. Must be legit"
Ron Paul should be a National hero for raising awareness about the Fed. More people are now aware of the evil than at any time in history.
I confess I had a "Ron Paul 2012" sticker on the Pringles can where I used to hide my drugs.
Ziiing.
I must come from a family of full blown junkies because them fuckers vote dem every chance they get
But yet, there will still be single issue voters who will. Likely people who don't even vote, but will get out because muh weed.
This is an issue we could have fucking won 10x over already, and pulled that rug out from under them, if our side would have just legalized it and been done with it.

Yep. So long as they get to control others, they want to scream that they can't be controlled.
That's.... not how this works.
I'm old enough to remember when people were led to believe Obama would legalize marijuana. Even Politico had to admit Obama was a dissapointment for the pro-cannabis crowd.

It should be re-scheduled, at least.
Agreed, but that's not the discussion being had in this comment chain.
Ending the war on the drugs is something Republicans should jump behind. It's exactly the small government conservatism that people like to see. If there is one thing we've learned about the war on drugs it's that it's been an expensive failure.
It's not over since we are still sending money for drugs across the border. Clinging to this quasi it's over status isn't doing us any favors. And that's my point, we need to legalize it so our country is keeping the drug money instead of sending it south.
We won't, though, because there are still far too many religious fundamentalists stuck 100 years in the past who believe it's quite literally the devils cabbage, and will do anything to ensure they get to tell you that you can't use it - meanwhile, screaming about how they're persecuted for their fucking religion.
The zealots on our side have caused us almost as many problems as the actual fucking left.
You can't afford pot anymore. The only thing that helps me sleep soundly throughout the night are indica gummies. They used to be $18 for 20 pieces (which I cut in half), then went to $23 about 2 years ago, now they're $30.
Edibles are remarkably easy to make. Also if you're eating distillate gummies, it's all the same. The only time its strain-specific is with full spectrum edibles like hash rosin gummies.
I'm reminded of the Daniel Tosh joke "You know what, I support legalizing weed. Not because I like to get high, but because then the potheads will finally talk about something else."
The uniparty just looking at how they can steal more tax payer money.
We told Trump to do that in his first term, he was waiting for his 2nd term.... ffs, the RINO gop screwed him over with bad advice.
he didn’t realize how much they were all against him
He could have ripped the rug out from underneath them!
Stop it. It's already legal everywhere thanks pretty much to Trumps 2018 farm bill.
I always tell people that if you’re caught with weed, just tell the cop that it’s hemp. They’ll never get around to testing it, and the case will be dismissed.
Proving someone has THC is cheap. Proving that it’s over 3% THC is expensive.
Pro tip. The more you know!!
Tbh that sounds a lot dumber than saying nothing, but sure fren :)
Saying it's hemp is lying. Asking them if they can confirm it isn't, however...
You're allowed to lie to cops, just don't lie to feds.
They are both allowed to lie to you, but you can only lie to one of them and sometimes you can't even lie to them (like instances when you are legally required to identify yourself you can't refuse or give false information)
What Trump did was great but you're absolutely incorrect, it's only legal with a very low THC content by weight. It's not "legal everywhere" until you can not commit a felony by crossing state lines and until the faggot ATF removes the question about it from their gay little form when purchasing a gun.
Yeah he made the only thing illegal about cannabis thc. But pot plants grow thca that only breaks down to thc when improperly stored or heated.
Not just that... hemp has very low quantities of THC... the law says that THC content has to be a small percentage of the total weight.
There was a headshop in KC, MO I used to go to that sold hemp-based THC gummies. They were like 9:1 CBD:THC and tasted a lot like plant material, but they were legal under the law.
I liked that place because they published their lab results on every individual batch.
Compare that to living in Blue State New York where weed is legal (it wasn't in MO when I lived there) -- headshops just sell bootleg gummies made with THC oil right out in the open because they know enforcement is so lax / impossible.
Can't find a lab result to save my life. I just find it ironic that I had a better supply of trustworthy THC in a (then-) illegal state than I do in a legal state.
I don't live anywhere near NYC (thank god) but I still wouldn't even know where to begin to find one of the state-sanctioned dispensaries.
This state is so fucked. Even beyond your worst assumptions.
(Before anyone asks, a company threw a virtually impossible to refuse amount of money at my wife to move here)
Sounds like you're referring to 7th Heaven. Great headshop!
In KCMO? Nah, it wasn't that one. I think it was just called KC Smoke and Vape but they had their own house brand of the hemp gummies... Happy Panda or something?
I did not enjoy the plant taste because of the massive amounts of hemp needed for a 10mg edible, but I couldn't argue with the lab results. That just speaks to a business's transparency and integrity imo.
This guy fucks. I bought and eighth of 31% THCA just the other day completely legally. When you heat it with a lighter it converts to delta 9 thc at 30%ish which is stupid powerful levels of delta 9.
Yup. Seeing similar in my "not legal" state.
Not really. It had been a few years since I smoke the devils lettuce. Although when I did quit I was smoking a ton, typical stoner shit. THCA is great (flower not a pen mixed with other cannabinols), I do not trust any of the other thc’s out there. Thcp,thco, all the different ones they put in the vape pens, and what not.
Would much rather be able to grow my own plant but can’t to do that so thca is a good alternative. It will make you pop positive on a piss test, and if you have it in a warm place the heat can convert enough thca into delta 9 thc it can pop positive on police test over time.
Remind all the little socialists THERE ARE 0 people in prison for just smoking pot. Zero. Who's this fucktard going to pardon?
Exactly this.
Possession of Marijuana. Wtf are you smoking?
Name one. It usually is an in accompany to charge. Like murder or gun charges. No one is In prison for just having a little weed.
That is a ridiculous statement and it comes from fake conservatives trying to assume that the DA drops minor charges and hits them with the bigger ones. But just because that happens, doesn't mean it always happens. Marijuana is a schedule 1 drug according to the federal government, people go to jail for simply possessing large quantities of it all the time... you just think because the feds considered it "enough to be considered a dealer" means they were only charged with drug dealing. Also anyone on parole always gets hit with max charges in order to violate their parole with the violation.
If they want to fuck you over, simple possession is more than enough.
An actual conservative who believes in freedom and liberty and individual rights wouldn't be advocating banning a plant that you can't OD on.
Coffee, alcohol, and tobacco are all much worse for you than marijuana but i can get all three doordashed to my house in 20 minutes.
Name one. "Simply" for "large quantities" rotflmao look dipshit just like every pothead libtard out there you cannot name one person in PRISON for normal marijuana use. Know why? Because there isn't.
Hey dickhead, i said multiple times "possession of large quantities"... but just like a typical leftist degenerate you misconstrue what someone is saying, take it out of context, then use that pile of shit you've mounded up to throw at someone.
https://ibb.co/W5b2Q9z
you sound retarded, go fuck yourself.
Would I go to prison for growing 4 plants in a 3x3’ tent in my pool house? Yup. I’d be hit with 4 felonies. For growing plants. They’re plants. Very similar to the plants that founded this country. The fact that alcohol isn’t just legal, but has a multi billion dollar propaganda arm behind it, pushed on tv, on billboards and in magazines, while growing a plant gets you a felony, is pure fucking idiocy. It’s a much safer high than weed, leads to way less violence/death, and is cheap as all get out. No one is being harmed when I smoke a bowl at night after a long day of work. No one is harmed if I have some plants growing in my house. Countless people are harmed by alcohol every fucking day. Either tell me you want them both illegal, or fuck off with your stupid, senseless arguments.
Almost no one goes to prison for mere possession of marijuana.
Go look at who Kamala locked up during her tenture as San Francisco's DA and CA's AG!
Thats a blatant lie that fake conservatives use all the time as a loophole so they can keep pretending they actually support freedom and individual liberties.
Not federally which is what biden did his publicity stunt with.
Trump should have done this, and signed an EO to decriminalize pot. If he had done this and 2020 wasn't rigged, he'd have gained a million votes.
I think the weed issue alone has over the years kept millions of young people from even considering voting Republican.
That's ironic since his VP put hundreds of blacks in prison for joints.
cackling intensifies
raspy narrator voice
He just wanted to smoke a joint. Instead, he ended up…
In the joint.
Maybe he can pardon some of those that Kamala Harris railroaded when she was prosecutor in California. My friend was one of them. Too bad he didn't set a courthouse on fire or she would have bailed him out. But having a few too many weed plants in his basement now that was not gonna fly under her watch. A guy who didn't ever steal from or hurt anyone. Didn't even own a weapon.
As a pothead, he's not getting my vote.
Lmao at the downvotes. They probably drink too. Imagine thinking you’re superior to potheads and heroin addicts while you ingest a more dangerous drug because commercials and college culture told you it was cool 😂

I wish he would, but I doubt it. Dems like promising stuff like weed legalization or student debt cancellation without following through. That way, they can use it as bait for votes election after election with a new crop of naive voters.
Trump should have done that first.
Remember that 4.5 million (including myself*) voted for Gary Johnson in 2016...
I wish I could say that all Libertarian Party voters are Thomas Jefferson / Ayn Rand / Ludwig von Mises nerds (like myself), but a lot of them are primarily motivated against the prohibitionist thugs.
(*Needless to say, I put on the MAGA hat as soon as Trump proved himself in 2017, and of course voted for him in 2020.)
What's an Aleppo?
I read Atlas Shrugged this year, finally. Probably should’ve read the fountainhead first but I’m on We The Living right now. I wish I could be as good at anything as Ayn was as writing in her 2nd language. AS quickly became the best book I’ve ever read. And longest.
Honestly one of trump’s largest missed opportunities. He should of demanded it be removed entirely from scheduling, federally putting it on the same level as alcohol, and telling the states they have to hold a vote for if it will be legal or not in that state.
FJB
Trump would gain a lot of voters just by saying he’d take pot off of the federal books and leave it to the states.
He should say he will, and if the dems decide they need to before trump, trump can campaign on it took him to saying he would do something to make the dems do anything.
That still wouldn't get the bankers on board though. Hard for a business to survive on cash alone between vendors
He'd lose a lot as well.
After all the mud they’ve thrown at Trump, the people who support him have become steadfast and hardened.
He literally could shoot someone on 5th Ave now and not lose support.
Ain’t no trump supporter going to decide, “Fuck it. If Trumps going to take weed of the federal books then I’m voting DeSantis.”
No one is that dumb. And no one is that passionate about fucking weed anymore. It’s been legal in the minds of most Americans forever anyway.
Like a fucking middle school student government election.
Vote 4 Joe
"Free candy every thursday!!!"
"Kool-aid in the waterfountains!!!"
"My opponent is against no-pay vending machines! Stand up to him and say get outta here with that mularkey buster!"
"If I'm elected your student body president, I will make sure we get an extra 15 minutes of recess on DAY 1! No I'm serious, not a joke man!"
Yeah I remember in the 2008 campaign when Obama promised federal legalization then reneged.
So I guess all those staffers who were fired for past mary jane use can come back?
Nah, it's all just bluster.
I figured, was just being sarcastic. :)
I rarely smoke weed. I don't go out of my way to buy it but will occasionally take a couple hits off a joint if someone passes it around. It makes me paranoid and anxious but that's just my reaction to it. Who the fuck am I to tell someone they can't smoke weed while I'm drinking a case of beer? This really irks me with so-called freedom lovers. Stop telling people what to do. You're imposing your will on others the same way leftist fags do. Stop it.
Wouldn't it be great if when they came to my door I could shoot them in the face? This is a different take for me because I used to think I could save people with knowledge. Now I'm emploring people to get their 7th booster. I call them anti-vaxxers if they haven't had their monkeypox shot. By design, I know that these people are beyond repair. The herd will cull itself. It's the most humane method. Doesn't make it right but it is what it is. There are no white hats. If you want to continue your lineage you will get into animal husbandy and Walapinis. You can get hundreds of pounds of meat in a year from three rabbits.
You can now get as high as inflation
They still haven’t legalized weed, they’re not going to
This shit makes our side look foolish, and WE should be the ones promoting an end to idiotic drug prohibition. We're supposed to be the side in favor of individual freedom and limited government. Why would a conservative want OUR SERVANTS in government dictating what YOU can and can't ingest into YOUR own body at gunpoint? I find that stance fucking pathetic. (Govern me harder daddy! Harder!) Do you really trust our government that much? REALLY?
And here's the hilarious and depressing part. Those so called conservatives are actually helping enforce a United Nations decree to criminalize drugs. It was called the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs, and the legislation that fulfilled it in the United States was passed by a Democrat congress after being introduced by a Democrat. You're literally defending globalist leftism. Ask yourself why statist leftists would want drugs illegal and highly regulated. It gives government almost as much power as criminalizing guns, and you're defending it? 🤦
Go ahead and downvote. I don't give a shit. I'll proudly defend individual freedom even if nobody on the planet agrees with me. I don't need these fucking idiots in our government deciding what I'm not allowed to put into my body, the same way I don't need them deciding what I MUST put into my body. I actually believe in freedom.
Besides, I live in a state where pot has been legal for years now. We're also the state with the least amount of violent crime. It has had no noticeable negative effect whatsoever. The only difference is that free citizens can engage in fairly harmless behavior without fear of a tyrannical state descending on them.
Trudeau did it in 2015.
It worked.
We got fucked for the next 8 years.
Nah, there's more litter and some neighborhoods stink all the time but that's about it.
The tax boon they said they'd get is....not emntioned very much. Not sure if it's meeting projections or not.
Losers will always be shitty about consuming whatever substances they like. The opiate problem is far, far worse.
Well, I did see what looked like a couple meth pipes in front of the bus stop by the pot shop the other day, which I wouldn't have seen a few years ago. But correlation doesn't equal causation.
I see a lot of pot shops in town, maybe as many as liquor stores. But with all the other issues our country is facing, I can't really tell what effect easier marijuana access may have had. It was de facto legal before, anyway.
No, but it got turdeau elected because the blowhard cuckservatives just can't leave it alone.
He did have better hair, though.
Biden could completely legalize pot tomorrow and I still would never support him.
Isn't this what dems do every time? Oh shit we don't have anything to run on, quick say something about drugs!
Dear Criminals,
When you get let out of jail, please remember that Biden could have done this on day 1, but chose to strategically keep you in prison for 3.5 years for his own convenience.
Trump missed big on this.
The Dems could have legalize pot years ago. They've had veto proof margins before. I think Zero's first few years and slick Willie's first few. (Probably wrong but too lazy to look it up lol)
legalizing pot is low hanging fruit...it will happen no matter what
That pardon literally didn’t pardon anyone because no one faces felony charges just for simple possession.
Beware, Trudeau successfully used this issue to win his first term as PM. It worked and was won him at least a million votes in an electorate of 13-15 million, and where the top 2 parties get 5-7million votes each. It drove a major increase in turnout of first time and irregular voters that put him over the top while the conservative party vote was effectively unchanged.
Wow. Well. I guess a senile squirrel finds a nut every so often
I hate pot heads
Good. Hopefully, it'll cause you extra stress and you'll stay alive less.
Pot heads are what causes all this shit. They can't think straight. Blame everyone for everything because they are lazy as shit pot-heads. Look at California. All Pot-heads.
Lemme guess, you were dropped a lot on your head when you were a child. Tough luck, eh.
