This to me just totally seems like something they would do.
The drug war is a disaster in itself that was started by the deep state in order to wage war on Americans, anyway. Like every deep state plan they phrase it as something that's for our own good. After decades of drug war, overdoses are at an all-time high, drug-use is at an all-time high, deep state was flooding inner cities with crack, using drugs as pretext for violation of 2A, as well as excessive and seizure and civil asset forfeiture. I could go on at length about this but that's what my assessment of what the plan is.
Trump said in office that if congress gave him a bill to legalize cannabis he'd sign off on it, but otherwise took no real action. As someone who works in legal cannabis I was very pleased with how much he left us alone at the state level and only intervened in operations that trafficked stuff into or out of their respective legalized states, therefore breaking the laws of the states that legalized it and infringing on the sovereignty of states that didn't.
Now the deep state is trying to sell conservatives on more drug war by hyping up military intervention against the cartels. Was that ever necessary when Trump was in office? We don't need another long drawn out expensive foreign military intervention, he had a great relationship with the president of Mexico and was working with him to clean up corruption!
But I think the deep state will try this, give a too-little-too-late concession (they've already lost the optics war for the most part and now just appear brazenly tyrannical) on cannabis legalization, and have their controlled op conservative mouthpieces really step up the attacks on cannabis, so it drives the liberty minded people and moderates away from conservatives and back towards Dems.
And it's really fucking funny seeing all these conservatives/GOP who for the last few years were ranting and raving about tyrannical government and appearing to be the "party of liberty" jumping back on the prohibition train and speaking out against cannabis.
God damn I hate RINOs. If it weren't for Trump I would probably vote libertarian, except the Libertarian party is also fundamentally broken.
Social issues are for the most part a way to keep people distracted while the gov't picks our pockets.
It's worth mentioning that they'll be simply swapping from the prohibition model of control where they make it illegal to possess, but secretly distribute it themselves, then round the people they distribute it up to for illegal possession and seize their assets and guns, over to the regulatory model where they control the licensing system and who possesses them and where they can operate and sell their goods, is basically the same model big pharma uses.
Perfect concise sentence describing what they do! Glad you are on our side.
We have all the smart people!
Here's why:
A drugged population is less resistive to the extreme changes they want to bring.
Comms have been decoded suggesting a coordinated weed + porn push to sedate the masses in the late 90s, as opposed to the very manufactured stoking of tensions with the Rodney King riots earlier that decade.
Seeing how far into the Patriot endgame we are, cleaning up the last remaining independent Clown cells as to prevent as much loss of life as possible...I do wonder if the masses being placated in some way will take place as truths are revealed.
True. And why no matter what, I am not in favor of legalization. I am in favor of decriminalization, which is different.
Once something becomes normalized, it becomes standardized. People who wouldn't otherwise do it now do it, and then I have to deal with the skunky stench everywhere I go because the people who said that they wouldn't be driving when smoking that shit were dishonest, which makes total sense.
And for any white knights of pot: Your judgement is still impaired, and you become driven by different things. E.g. "munchies" for a common effect. And even if you claim it doesn't affect you (because of course, those who take opioids or drink alcohol never claim those things either, of course) it does and it becomes very observable on the road.
Doesn't even begin to talk about the injectable drugs.
It should be made abundantly clear to anyone who thinks they're awake criticizing the war on drugs:
The war on drugs is only a disaster because it's simply a war on the population. The powers that be benefit from it. It is a disaster because no substantive action has actually been taken to destroy the cartels or stop their drugs from getting through the border, and instead has likely been used to generate funding for unsavory federal agencies to enact their agendas.
Anyone can feel free to disagree with me on my stance; that's fine. We are on the same side and we may not see eye to eye on this issue. It is a violation of my rights to have to smell that shit everywhere I go though, as it is an assault on my senses -- especially when I have to smell it as it permeates my home. Also a violation of everyone's rights when they find syringes in a playground or park, which absolutely would not stop just because it's legalized.
If we believe we can stop illegals with a wall, we can stop drugs from flowing by taking action against the sources that for decades we have refused to take action against while innocent people are caught up in it.
You missed the part where cartels only exist BECAUSE OF prohibition. The deep state works with the cartels because their model is to make it illegal, then slip the drugs in to communities through the back door, then use that as pretext to wreak even more havoc on those communities by putting people in jail, seizing assets and property, and stripping people of their 2A rights.
I do agree that good conduct should still be enforced. Leaving needles at playgrounds is a serious problem, and should be taken seriously. If you do that, you should be punished more than typical littering. You obviously shouldn't be driving or operating heavy machinery while intoxicated either. But we have rules we follow in society for alcohol, and those would translate generally well to other drugs. Don't give it to kids, don't do it in a public park, don't drive or operate heavy machinery while on it, don't spend all your money on it, don't go to work on it. Those are all perfectly reasonable rules to live by when dealing with intoxicating substances.
But it's just basic pareto principle enforcement that we should deal with the 20% of the users that cause 80% of the problems based on bad conduct, rather than the 80% of the people that cause 20% of the issues who are just looking to smoke a reefer on friday night before they play some games to relax after a long week.
You make great points on this subject. Most kids in my area were wild and partying in high school during the 80s, myself included. 81-86 I was rarely sober at night. I can't imagine the affects that had on my brain. Summer before my senior year I tried weed. I had managed to avoid it for so long and once I tried it I wanted more and more weed. I got high most days at lunch my senior year. By this point I was into liquor and weed. I tried cocaine once and it scared me so bad that was a one & done. I've never been so paranoid. My home life was great with a side dysfunction (who's isn't). I didn't know at the time that addiction runs in my dad's family. My dad stopped drinking during my senior year but the verbal abuse had always been there. I now understand I drank and got high to escape.
Fast forward to falling in love, getting married and having a child. My life was so different and I never missed alcohol or weed. After my child was grown we occasionally got drinks in a restaurant. I've been drunk once since 1987. Went out with a very old friend and had some drinks. I might have a mixed drink five times a year, if that. I'm just not interested in feeling bad.
I have had chronic pain over twenty years and considered trying weed. We have a couple friends that always have it. It's not legal in my state, they have people that by and ship to them. I was really excited because I'm tired of pain and gave up RX. First I couldn't even get the joint rolled. I was good at that back in day. Then decided to try to using a pipe like device (not sure what it's called.
OMG the smell was so bad!!! After one hit I said, nope! I'm not going to smell like that. This really showed me how oblivious my parents were to weed. I'd know that smell anywhere. Go to a concert and you'll get a contact high. So my reentry was very short lived.
I can attest to my personal experience a person high isn't at normal mental capacity. If someone believes they can function normally getting high they are lying to themselves and believing the brainwashing.
I do believe CBD with THC is a good medicinal option. Unfortunately it's very expensive and the market is flooded. It's very hard to find the reputable companies in the sea of companies selling toxic products. I have not tried it long enough to know if it helps.
Edit: I'm not against medical weed. There's always going to some people that abuse things. Look at alcohol & cigarettes for example. (Modern cigarettes, I don't believe the early ones were bad before the big manufacturers got involved) If I knew a local source I could trust I'd figure out how to consume weed in a form other than smoking and only enough to manage pain. I'm not interested in getting high.
Yeah, I think if you need it medically that's okay. People who need it medically in my experience tend to be more considerate of their neighbors, but this obviously doesn't go for everyone. There are also better ways than smoking it (no matter what people say, smoke is smoke and it's bad for you) which helps.
I am for decriminalizing it because I don't think people should be penalized or imprisoned for it, but I don't think we need to have a pot shop and growers on every corner like my city has now.
There will always be a black market, for the simple reason of taxation and regulation.
But the people who are pushing for full legalization always end up pushing one side of studies and ignoring any criticism about it, and ignore all of the other effects and impacts a full legalization of all drugs would have. I know that drivers are crazy enough without slamming heroin or dropping acid.
Pot is literally the gateway drug for this purpose.
Decriminalization does not mean ease of acquisition, and you'll still have the same drugs from the same people floating around for cheaper and without being taxed to boot. A war on drugs must include -- plainly -- a direct, open war on the cartels. That is the only way to cut production and distribution.
Until such a time comes, any "war on drugs" can't be disastrous because it doesn't exist -- the drugs aren't the target, you are.
FWIW there's a company in Oregon who sells CBD for great price. It comes with all the testing paperwork too and generally I rated this CBD transaction very high. Took about 3 days to get to my part of the country. This page includes a variety of incredibly priced, well documented Hemp products: https://laurelcrest.com/bulk-ingredients/
They mainly sell Business to Business but I was able to purchase 30 grams of isolate for 75$ for "R&D" with no Business information required.
Well worth it given that other websites with similar levels of documentation run at $120 for 20g https://www.lazarusnaturals.com/products/all-products/bulk-cbd-isolate-thc-free
Edit: 30g of CBD would make 30,000mg Tincture. The 1500mg tincture costs 40 making 20 would equal 800 worth of tincture. So 75$ for 30mg of cbd Isolate would make 800$ worth of tincture
Thanks for the information. I'll check them out. I've ordered a few times from. https://www.rarecannabinoidco.com/
I have purchased different CBD varieties. This one is much more than $75.00. I got it on sale cheaper than listed price. The price has increased a lot over the past year. https://www.rarecannabinoidco.com/product/thcv-uplift-tincture/
On my last order I got gummy samples and they taste bitter and disgusting. I prefer the natural green taste of CBD instead of flavors. I'm not an expert and would like to learn more.
Lot of talk about nothing--look through the internet--where are the stories about damage pot is causing---more people with problems with sugar or McDonalds
Some of a drugged population.
The sooner we legalize all recreational drugs the better IMO.Once the prices drop,there will be no cartels.Dopers gonna dope.The casualty rate is supposedly why it's illegal.When I look at the people in pain because marijuana is illegal,it enrages me.They are caught in a world of risk or be in pain.Primarily our veterans and elderly.
Decriminalize. Not legalize.
We still have a black market because of all the government fees and bank regulations
If there’s any group that can screw up drug money it’s the government.
Good point,dead on right.Just like liquor stamps.Thanks.
These people are gangsters. These plants and fermented drinks have been here for hundreds of thousands of years. One day a group of people organize and tell you you can’t use unless you pay them if not they’ll kill your.
Same thing with paper money. It’s extortion.
Literally,when they need enforcement,they draft your children to go enforce.
Yeah. They are creeps
When dem normies gonna wake up?
Maybe never or maybe when President Trump's foot connects squarely.
Decriminalization only benefits cartels and organized crime. They’ll dominate a brutal monopoly, without any oversight. Yes government is inept, but we need to fully legalize and leave it to the free market. I would support regulations to report purity and potency/dosing, but not for government distribution, licensing, etc.
Decriminalization is a half measure. We need full on legalization.
I think you are confusing terminology. Decriminalization isn't a half-measure. It just means to make something not a crime - like possession, for example. A crime is an infringement of another person's rights. How does possessing a plant violate someone else's rights? It doesn't, so it should not be considered a crime.
Legalization means the government gets to write down rules that everyone has to follow then they can stick their noses in everyone's business to make sure everyone is following those rules, but mainly it's so they can take their cut through taxes and licenses. It doesn't mean it's a free market, because the government will still enforce the regulations, so it won't just be a free-for-all.
Decriminalization means it’s not a crime to possess or use a substance. It does not make it legal to produce, manufacture, market, and distribute said substance.
Defining a substance as legal allows for the above. If you don’t want government oversight and regulations, I’m all for that, but it’s incongruent with everything else in our society. It would be a distinct anomaly when it comes to products and services that are traded and sold in markets.
In my opinion, the answer is that the substance be recognized as legal on a federal level, and then any potential regulations are determined on a local level.
When it comes to hard drugs that can easily kill someone, I think it would be reasonable to have standards for potency and purity, in a similar way that we have standards for proper food handling. We don’t want people dying unnecessarily from an accidental overdose - that’s one of the biggest problems with the current black market.
But again, that’s up for the individual localities to determine in my opinion.
We could discuss the potential of a self regulating industry, but this would all stem from a substance being recognized as legal.
If this describes your idea of Decriminalization, unfortunately I think you’re the one who is confusing terminology.
"Legal" does not mean "approved", "allowed", "safe", or whatever you seem to think it means. The root word "legis-" means "written" so to "legalize" something means to make written rules i.e. laws. When you say it should be legalized federally you're saying you want the federal government to make universal laws that all states will have to follow.
Decrim doesn't make new laws, it just redefines the statutes to recognize something that used to be considered a crime as no longer a crime. And I believe all federal drug laws are unconstitutional anyway.
Why would those activities need to be "legalized" if they are already decriminalized? What you are describing is the condition of being unregulated, neither legal nor illegal, as it should be because we're talking about a natural substance.
We agree on this, but this:
No, it has nothing to do with being "legal". Unless to you "legal" means a written law that says no one shall be punished for xyz or recognition of the right of self-medication or something to that effect.
This is a hard conversation to have because the legal language is all about definitions but not the same definitions we use in everyday speech.
I’m honestly not sure what you think I’m trying to say here, or what you believe my understanding of “legalization” to be.
I also don’t understand how you believe that decriminalization is an appropriate standard, as the same standard cannot be applied to any other commodity traded widely.
If you consume something or do anything on a small scale, you don’t run into trouble. It’s no one else’s business. If you start mass producing something to distribute to others, there are regulations pertaining to said practice.
The anarchist side of me would say that government has no right to impose regulations on any transaction between two consenting adults. Reality would say that regulations exist for literally every other form of commerce in our society.
Why would drugs be an anomaly?
If we’re talking about the state recognizing ones right to produce and distribute drugs as a business, that is, for all intents and purposes, legalized.
I’m not having a debate about the etymology of words here. I’m talking about the practical implementation of allowing drugs to be produced and sold, in contrast to prohibition.
If that’s what you mean by decriminalization, then we agree. But the term “decriminalize” is not used to describe that.
I’ve lived in a country where marijuana was decriminalized for a period of time, as well as formally legalized years later. They are absolutely not the same thing. The same thing applies to prostitution.
Therefore, based on actual real world precedent, simply decriminalizing drugs is not the target we should be aiming for, unless you see it as a stepping stone, or unless you’re simply living in an anarcho capitalist fantasy land.
Ya fuck that. Decriminalize fentanyl lol.
Rather give death penalty to drug pushers. That works well in all the countries that did it. No more drug problems. Drugs fuck up alot of families.
Ummmmm fentanyl is a pharmaceutical.
Sold by big pharma drug pushers. Trump goal is go after all these drug pushers. They shouldn't even sell this.
If you legalize recreational opiate use people will gravitate towards morphine or heroin. Why? Because they are comparatively safer, longer lasting, and more euphoric than fent is. Fent is less euphoric, harder to dose safely, and short acting so more prone to compulsive redosing more often, leading to more chances of improper dosing and greater chances of using it in risky areas/situations.
Plus, people will know that they're not going to get spiked with fentanyl when they don't want it, so they will be less prone to accidental overdoses.
Please come and visit Kensington in Philadelphia, where people are literally losing limbs due to continually shooting up at and around the open-air drug market.
Then tell me we should legalize all recreational drugs.
I lost a wife and many friends and family to dope.If it is no longer illegal,there is no profit in it.No turf to fight over,no draw to the gangs other than what would be there anyway.People who want to get high or drunk and fight will always be there.I would wager that most shootings are over community status or conflicts between drug financed gangs.Our young people,particularly our poor frequently have no hope of wealth or prestige within their neighborhood.No car,no ability to have their own home.No hope.Deep state maintains this environment in order to keep a market for drugs.Drugs are a primary commerce in American power broking all over the world.I saw it all over the world.America is the primary culprit in drug trafficking.As a fren noted,we don't want to make it legal,just not illegal.I once felt as you do.I will note that I was a Marine and later a nurse,ER,surgical-scrub and circulator.Nurse manager for a surgery unit.16 years in ICU.Yes, I've treat injured from the shootings,stabbings,curbing,overdoses,gangrenous needle riders.The war on drugs will never be won until we remove the profit at all levels.IMHO.
Yep. Rather give death penalty to drug pushers.
It's like people forgot "cannabis" is already legal on a federal level under Trump's 2018 farm bill. Sure it's technically "just hemp", but anyone can go right now to your local vape shop and get delta 8 THC products; flower, oil, vapes, edibles, tinctures, etc.
This "legalization of marijuana" is 100% a distraction imo
Hate to bring it up Again..but imported weed is non gmo and WAY better tasting stone...I'll let myself out
Home grown was a dirty word in the seventies pre sensi..best I had was called wackyweed from Columbia dollar a gram...I miss pablo
Username checks out.
I read the reason for the explosion in THC-D8 is because farms grew so much hemp they saturated the CBD market and so some chemists figured out how to convert CBD into THC-D8 (Delta-9 is natural THC, Delta-8 or D8 is just a functional analogue). So that's what they did with the surplus and now they are in shops everywhere.
I still love how my liberal friends think it's conservatives that are holding up legalization. They've had plenty of opportunities where the Dems held the majority of power in the last 15 years and nothing but crickets and empty promises.
The Left loves to keep MJ as illegal so they can use it as another tool to remove people's rights through enforcement.
Nothing gets a search going and wastes tons of taxpayer resources like a little skunky smell coming out of the car
That has always been their plan. Conservatives are constitutional minded folk who believe in our nations founding principles, including individual liberties. There is no logical reason for the govt. to infringe on anyones individual liberty if they want to smoke, eat, or drink weed. The "danger" of weed to our society is all based on horseshit, and propaganda fueled by the alcohol, tobacco, and pharmaceutical industries. Uniparty politicians and pundits are the ones who lead the push to make, and keep weed a crime.
If people don't want to smoke weed, then don't do it. But, there is nothing based on empirical facts that support the idea that other people need to be jailed to force them to not use hemp.
The prohibition of weed only enriches the criminals who control the black market, and inflate the pice of weed for their own profits.
Currently and since 1971 my sources are local providers not in any black market
The 2018 Farm Bill legalized cannabis up to a certain THC amount if I understand correctly.
.03%
Medicinal..doesn't work
Yes, but all the Delta’s other than Delta 9 are lab derived from the 0.3% thc hemp.
It created loop holes.
As much as i love weed, it will never make me vote for a dem
I don't mind if people smoke/consume weed as long as they don't drive on public roads, work for any government entity while high, and if smoking, don't smoke in public because, wow, does that s*^t stink! :)
I used to hate dead skunks..now I enjoy
Trump legalized medical hemp CBD cannabis with the farm bill. That's legal cannabis meds for everyone of every age without any limits.
The republican party could steal so many votes from the left on this one issue. It makes my blood boil. There has got to be another legal alternative to alcohol and cannabis is so much healthier and safer on every level. I cannot stand the GOPs stance on this issue, when cannabis should be a free market product. Alcohol is 100x more a gateway drug than cannabis by how it effects the "care" chemical in your brain. Cannabis doesn't have near the effect that alcohol does in this area. You cannot overdose on cannabis. It helps for sleep. It has medicinal properties. I cannot stand the uneducated stance of GOP on this issue, while they turn around and say drinking alcohol is just fine.
The dems have been dangling weed legalization on a stick for decades now.
Assholes clearly aren't serious about it.
BTW There is a liberty community in NH which is a mixed lot but I am beginning to get to know them & for the most part, I think they are great. I unfortunately can't find too many that I can talk about Q stuff with & some of them are very hard line libertarian who might even be critical of Trump. (By that I mean they might prefer the libertarian presidential candidate, which I think is, of course, a joke) But it's still a community which works, imho.
I am off to their yearly fest which happens for a week every year around this time. (They have little meetups & potlucks all year - long sometimes about a particular subject) I just like the fact that they are on our side about a lot of things, like guns, the absurdity of covid masks & shots, govt corruption, taxes & etc. Their motto is: "taxes are theft"
I guess the history was that the libertarians realized that they can never get enough votes to do anything unless they all descend on one state & New Hampshire, somehow won that lottery years ago & it's been growing ever since. I just found out about it recently & it's nice to just have some sort of irl community in these crazy fascist swamp scamdemic times.
Hope you have fun at PorcFest. I have been going since 2016 and this is the first year I can't make it. I lived out there for 4 years and yeah I think your characterization of the community is accurate. I was there during covid and people still thought I was batshit crazy for thinking there was no virus, even had a few mask freaks, but for the most part people are cool and troublemakers get exiled.
Yeah exactly! Trouble makers get exiled. That makes it a community that works. I'm much newer to it than you, 2021 was my first year so tell me, you might know: Is there anyone there that would talk about some of the Q stuff we talk about here? Would there be something to look for or some way to find them?
But yeah, thanks, I'll have fun. I'm sorry you can't make it.
You can probably find people that will be open to it but I suspect most people would take the position that Q was a pacification op by the deep state. I never met anyone who was as into it as I was, though I didn't really follow Q until covid. There was so much general distrust of the government that to even suggest they/the military would be coordinating to pull off a white hat op would get you laughed out of the room. Most people at porcfest are open minded though so if you have a coherent argument people will listen. If you are prepared you might be able to find a stage to give a presentation.
Weed should be legal, the Federal Gov having it set at schedule 1 is moronic and it is there because Big Pharma benifits from keeping it from us. Look at he benifits CBD has shown for killing covid, look at the kids with seizures that canibus oils stop them from having them anymore 100%. Being schedule 1 makes it illegal for science to study without a massive amount of red tape. Weed is way safer than alcohol. The federal gov having it illegal makes it so banks cant work with weed farms or stores and has lead to cartels being able to launder money through the fed (look it up).
The fact checkers tell you that it is all conspiracy but look into Hearst, Mellon and DuPont for the reasons hemp is illegal.

Watch the deep states fear mongering movies "Reefer Madness" (1936) and "Assassin of Youth" (1937) to understand the propaganda campaign.
I will just address this because I think the cannabis issue is separate from the cartel issue even though both fall under "war on drugs".
Cannabis is, from everything I have heard even from close friends, a substance that helps open up your spirituality and hence was heavily clamped down on for a long time, and regardless who is pushing to open it up - its a good thing. Like you pointed out Trump is not against this.
The heroine, cocaine and other hard core drugs are very much Cabal financial operations to balance their books, and cartels are their assets in enforcing this.
Trump has made it very clear that "drug dealers need capital punishment". He was referring to this part - not the cannabis - because these are really lethal Cabal agents, and destroys good lives throughout the world.
Military intervention against cartels is, if it comes to that, very necessary, and would be the real front line in this war of Good vs Evil. Cartels are the soldiers for Evil and if the individual countries cannot control them on their own, then this is war we all need to support.
I used to use medical marijuana from a licensed dispensary in a blue state. I appreciated how knowledgeable the dispensary was about the different terpenes we currently know of in cannabis; I believe it did help my issues.
I stopped using medical marijuana when I noticed that the states that had legalized were, until Missouri, largely the same states that Q mentioned governors were murdering nursing home residents during COVID.
I still think cannabis is helpful and medicinal; I no longer trust that what we get from licensed dispensaries in blue states isn’t messed with in a malicious manner
As someone who works in the legal cannabis industry and has processed the stuff into extracts for a living, I can personally guarantee you that it's not being tampered with in such a way. I've seen the sausages being made, so you can trust me or not. Your choice.
That is reassuring, thank you. After the Delta 9 THC reactions I’ve seen in friends, and knowing people who got vape pens from smoke shops that wound up in the hospital because they were laced with multiple other drug contaminants, I stopped going to dispensaries. I’m moving to a recreational state soon, so I’m not sure if I’ll still need a medical card.
I used to only buy CBD from Charlotte’s Web before I went to RSOs.
There was an incident where vitamin E acetate was used in vapor pens for a while, and it quickly came to light that it was unsafe and causing problems when smoked. That has been removed from the market fairly quickly though, so I wouldn't be as concerned about that now.
Trudeau used the “legalization” of weed to get elected in Canada.
The cunt Whitmer did in Michigan too. There was nearly 50% more votes the year she was elected with legal pot on the ballot than the elections preceding and following.
Cartels still need to be nuked from orbit. The amount of human trafficking, death, and destruction they spread is horrible. I trust Trump will actually handle it post Q
I live in a legal state, retail just started this year. There were Dems that voted against legalization, we already had medical for about 5 years before. I've been growing for awhile, only for personal use. It really is a feeling to be able to put 3 plants right out there next to the Lupines and Chard and Flowering Tobacco. Before that it was all indoors in tents and stealth. I have a med card since they were available , but the cost at the dispenseries were out of this world. Legalization dealt the cartels quite a blow, and since the CIA works directly with them, they did not want to lose the cash flow, and now fentanyl is everywhere, like crack used to be. People vote against legalization because of myths and scare tactics from pharma and professional groups of doctors, therapists and everything. I am always shocked to hear some liberal women disagree with legalization, so, I don't think the deep state will use that tactic, because it isn't really split on party lines. The women I mention are in 12 step programs, so that may be why, I know them from there. If anything, fentanyl has become such a problem, and that has become politicized for sure. Weed was the steady income but not the major income of the cartels, that would be meth, coke and fentanyl and guns and laundering. There just has not been any serious Libertarian candidates for awhile now, even in the small local elections. Just my opinion. When people see how much taxes it brings in, they end up being convinced, and all politicians like to brag about how much is in their coffers.
Not sure how this helpful. Why have a forum at all if people can't hypothesize? That was the whole point of Q.
Wont work. NCSWC.
I live in a deep deep southern red state and assisted in our state law for my kid. Even my state is over this issue.
Yes. The policy shift is happening because the Deep State was backed into it when they lost the propaganda campaign behind prohibition of cannabis. Reefer Madness propaganda won't work anymore, so they need to adapt their approach and shift to a different model of control.
Change the banking laws, then we can talk... But also, fuck off DNC
They are gonna have to change the banking laws... so they can implement CBDC.
No one gives a fuck about weed.
Legalizing marijuana is one thing, the cartels need to be destroyed for selling fentanyl laced hardndrugs, kidnapping, extortion, human smuggling, cooperating with China helping them smuggle probably chinese soldiers, list goes on
I think that's exactly what the left has been trying to do for a long time, now.
Kind of and old Texan joke.Do you realize,someone working cattle one day saw mushrooms on a cowpie and said ,hey,that made my dog high,I got to try that.Human condition.
Michigan put weed legalization on the ballot to elect Whitmer in 2018. It drove all the hoodrats and welfare recipients off their asses to vote yes on weed and blue down the rest of the ballot.
Legalization. while thc should be, there's the question of harder drugs. The processing of drugs into monster chems that are waaay to potent is the issue. I'm afraid the fentynol, meth, coke chemical enhancements are already out there and cant be undone. If there was a way to get back to less lethal, and less socially problematic substances such as opium, coco leaves we might be able to legalize most drugs. But the nature of drugs makes it impossible. Some people will need to have their access to these drugs managed. A dispensary system works for weed and *may work for other drugs.. and that 'management' should not be some top-down, one size fits all, government behemoth.
Also. I'm an advocate of psychedelic therapies for people who want help with their addiction. Weed and Shrooms should be first to be legalized and the latter should be rolled out for therapy to help those with deep seated addictions. It has been shown to work.
Fentanyl and Tranq are straight up bio weapons and severe sanctions against countries that allow it to be manufactured and shipped should be in place now. Special Forces interdiction should be used domestically on manufacturers/distributors. Those "drugs" are just another form of the Cabal's guidestone agenda.

I think the fact that drugs are illegal drives a lot of the anti-police sentiment that leads to movements like BLM becoming popular. I, as someone who does not do illegal drugs, could not at all understand how people could in good faith support loudmouth criminals who talk back to the police while getting arrested and end up shot. It doesn't compute to me at all. Like, he's a criminal, good riddance right? But, if they are users of illegal substances, then likely they see police as enforcers against their lifestyle.
Growing up, most of the people I knew who had anti police attitudes had them because of prohibition of the safer drugs like cannabis, or mushrooms, or LSD. It was and is the single biggest core issue behind anti-police resentment that I know of in my generation.
These are things which are relatively benign as intoxicants, and can even help expand people's minds and help them become deeper and more critical thinkers.
That's why the deep state wanted LSD banned, because it makes you think too much.
I think there are so many things we don't know that makes it hard to be a true threat to the deepstate; like for example the names of every member of the deepstate and where they operate.
Friendly reminder: No need to manipulate voters’ hearts and minds with rigged machines. Rigged machines are why Biden and Katie Hobbs didn’t campaign.
They’ve been doing it for decades. Why stop now?
