The government has destroyed people's lives for over eighty years with cannabis criminalization. They've raked in untold trillions off fundraising, scare tactics, donations and lobbying.
Libs are already negotiating against themselves by saying that. They think the government is going to tax the weed and somehow not use the money for the defense budget?
I can't really pinpoint why this one really sticks in my craw.
Its like the old saying goes: "give a liberal a magic lamp, and they'll negotiate down to one wish and use it for something they think Republicans would like"
Some places, mostly big cities like Detroit and Chicago, have equity programs for the dispos and other cannabis related businesses to be run by people from communities that were typically harmed by the drug wars. When I was in Oakland I always bought my dispo weed from a black owned shop in Berkeley called the Farmacy. They were cool as hell.
That's cool! I'll be on the lookout when I travel. It's about as diverse as a wilco concert where I live
