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.
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.

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.
No country of potheads has ever thrived, or ever achieved anything at all.
Dude’s obviously never been to Silicon Valley, lol.
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.
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.
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.
Well he just lost his genz voters! Also lots of other generations.
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.
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 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.
Lol. This is probably the only reason people haven’t revolted. Take away this, and they’ll overthrow you.
Lol good luck
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!”
- Patrick Henry probably.
Hamilton was a huge piece of shit.
I mean all the founders were.
Thomas Paine was pretty cool
I am not throwin’ away my pot! 🎵
High-five
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.
Leads is doing a lot of heavy lifting there lol
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.
Glad you posted it, cause I was about to

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

Fun fact Herodotus hot boxed with the Scythians.
The image was loading slow for me, but before it even loaded I knew what it said lol
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
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.
Glad you added the yet
Already there, in MI sadly so they can pry my bong from my cold dead hands.
