This is the work of the alcohol lobby. This shit's happening in Texas as well as at the federal level. They want us beating our wives instead of having a relaxing evening.

So instead of seeing that THC being pretty widely available for years has not caused the sky to fall and should be a reason to legalize it federally, they clutch their pearls and double down.

Sigh!

I hate the smell when other legally smoke it around the neighborhood. However, I'd like to bring it to the attention of the Republicans.... THC is not the reason why Americans aren't having more Republican babies. I think it's mostly because housing take most of everyone's income and so its hard, expensive and embarrassing to fuck and have babies.

Not a huge fan of the smell either, but I'll second hand weed over cigarettes any day.

I grew up constantly surrounded by the latter and knew when I smelled the former that the adults were about to act like idiots. I think I'd rather lose my sense of smell than have to endure either consistently.

Yeah I only like the smell of illegal weed.

LOL. Freedom!....just hope people would learn be less generous with the smoke. Hey maybe someone can find a way to make it smokeless or at least smell like beautiful flowers... And I don't mean to add extra stink. I mean that they should genetically alter it or something like that such that it smells like vanilla. Or at least Gramp's dirty old socks inside his wet shoes.

Dismantling every bit of progress the USA made in past decades. Obviously, since to them being "a progressive" is an insult.

I just wonder if it's possible to undo all of it when (not if) this government fails.

Seeing as there are only two (large) parties in the USA, I'm not hopeful about a peaceful shift.
