it's not about the weed, it's about making more excuses to detain/arrest/murder brown people

[-] Zink@programming.dev 7 points 18 hours ago

True, but they DO still like denying fun to themselves and their same-race underlings as well.

[-] Jiggle_Physics@sh.itjust.works 65 points 1 day ago

this combined with them really pushing to make recording the police a felony

Ding

Not a full ding ding ding, but a bit of ding

It's definitely about the brown people, but it's also about religious control over people. Soon buggery will be prohibited for some bullshit reason, divorce will be outlawed again so that Texas finally finally can get back to its racist roots of the 1800's. All we need then is some good ol' slavery to finish it all off

Sodomy/buggery is technically still illegal in Texas

It’s unenforceable because the Supreme Court overturned the states ability to enforce the law but they’ve still never removed the laws. The last attempt was in 2023 and failed. They have arguably fought to protect the laws on the books for a time like now, when they could challenge and overturn the 2003 decision made in Lawrence v Texas and suddenly reenact all of those laws at once without having to re establish a legal framework once a sympathetic supreme court opens the floodgates for homophobia

May I introduce you to the Texas Prison System? They clean our highways, do hard labor, work for our universities doing landscaping,

[-] solsangraal@lemmy.zip 8 points 1 day ago

yep, that's why they're trying to swap the meanings of "education" and "indoctrination"-- accuse schools of "liberal indoctrination" and take over all the boards so they can force their own "education" which is literally the textbook definition of indoctrination

from the party of "god gave us free will!!!" which is also the party of "you will believe in jesus or else"

to be exact, to fill up those 70+ for profit prisons in texas.

[-] Zenith@lemm.ee 19 points 1 day ago

Legalized weed makes everything safer, crime goes down, people are dealing with addiction less, drinking even goes down, all of these things are terrible for the police

No way would I encourage anyone from that shitty state to move to my state. Stay there and deal with the mess you made.

We had a local place near me selling red "make weed gas again" hats. I've been in one time since and it has been completely dead during normally heavy traffic times.

Like these idiots don't know or even cared what they voted for other than "I'm a dude, I can't vote for a woman"

As a Canadian, I can't believe how sad the US has become, and they're regressing in freefall mode.

[-] thefartographer@lemm.ee 98 points 1 day ago

You ain't seen nothing yet!

- Reaches into pants and grabs a massive mound of turd and then rubs it all over own face -

Yeah, you're triggered now, you idiot. I'm so free!

- Coughs in sepsis -

[-] kibiz0r@midwest.social 24 points 1 day ago

New HHS guidance recommends against the term “sepsis”. We’re goin full humors now, boiiiiiii

[-] Ghyste@sh.itjust.works 9 points 23 hours ago

You forgot to mention something about "woke" and "radical" something or other.

[-] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 day ago

That's Texas, it's different.

[-] LemmyFeed@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 22 hours ago

Texas is the beta test for the rest of America.

[-] Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 20 hours ago

One star, because it wouldn't let us put zero.

[-] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 6 points 19 hours ago

Just change hotel to state

[-] Lucky_777@lemmy.world 55 points 1 day ago

Man, when even weed money can't move past your draconian and shitty religious doctrine. Conservatives are a plague on society's progress.

[-] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 27 points 1 day ago

I’ve got some mates who live in MN and you’re limited to 10mg edibles and drinkables, no regular Delta 9 bud, and weak solvent vape pens (no resin or rosin)

Their shitty republican neighbor state has real bud and more than 10mg consumables…

MN is almost there re:pot, but not quite!

[-] ChillPenguin@lemmy.world 11 points 19 hours ago

MN is a state where businesses couldn't sell alcohol on Sundays only until a couple of years ago. We're weird about very specific things.

[-] intheformbelow@lemmy.world 6 points 18 hours ago

It's perfectly understandable. A Minnesotan mustn't be too joyful. "It could be worse" are the words for a Minnesotan to live by. Allowing alcohol on Sunday brings it uncomfortably close to "I'm doing great"

[-] bitchkat@lemmy.world 15 points 21 hours ago

That's just the hemp stuff. They just passed legal weed a couple of years ago and are still setting up the market but we should have dispensaries open this year.

[-] djsaskdja@reddthat.com 2 points 15 hours ago

I’ll believe it when I see it. They’re dragging their feet in a way that seems like malicious compliance.

[-] Pulptastic@midwest.social 3 points 12 hours ago

The res near me (in Minnesota) has a fully legalized shop open now.

Come to Michigan. Help us go from a swing state to a solid blue, and enjoy some of the cheapest high quality legal weed you can find.

[-] MintyFresh@lemmy.world 13 points 23 hours ago

Michigan dispensaries are the shit!

[-] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 1 day ago

I was down in the US for a festival and made some Michigan friends who had the best dabs I’ve ever tried in my life.

They made a shit show out of the licencing. First they sold permits, but then decided they were going to favor minorities in the licencing process. Royalty pissing off people who had already paid the huge fee. The new scheme got struck down in the courts. Now nobody knows what's happening with it. Except the tribes, who are the only people able to commercially grow at the moment. Total shit show, a Minnesota classic.

But you can grow your own.

May as well get used to the cold weather by moving north since we will have to run to Canada next.

That’s why Trump keeps talking about invading Canada

[-] CtrlAltDefeat@sh.itjust.works 15 points 1 day ago

Easier to secede to Canada if you share a border

[-] riverSpirit@thelemmy.club 17 points 1 day ago

Why is Texas so communist? Freedom haters the lot of them.

[-] lobut@lemmy.ca 7 points 23 hours ago

Anyone still listening to JRE know what he thinks about it? I wonder if he went full hypocrite at this rate or still has some principles.
