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"
Just make it legal to grow your own.
A lot these "weed bro" hippies trying to start dispensaries everywhere are really annoying and think it's some kind of magical elixir, and that's not even getting into how unfair it is that people rot in jail for selling weed while they profit off of it.
Like dispensaries aren't even legal in my country (only growing your own weed is), yet one of these dudes shows up at every strip mall trying to start some shitty undercover one lol.
I'm glad it's readily accessable, but I can guarantee there are people in this state who are still suffering from being in the system over it.
My father in law doesn't have a driver's license because of some weed stuff from over 20 years ago. Can't afford to go to court or something. Frankly I think he's just being silly. Enough time has gone by that it should be easy for him to get his license back, but the fact remains that some people live in fear of persecution from the government while others out there are raking in the cash while some languish in jail/prison
