Same mother fuckers that talk about "freedom." Good luck in the election dickheads.

the 'dont tread on me' state is quite the opposite.. 'do what we say, or else'
an entire state run by fragile little snowflakes

Yeah, Texas is a joke for exactly this reason.

So is the “live free or die” state. The only state without legalized weed all of the northeast.

hehe you say that like "elections" matter, they dont care which "side" wins because the "sides" are only in public.

Gotta keep those private prisons stocked! Taylor Farms needs more dookie lettuce.

Kind of a dumb question/observation. 0 is less than 1 gram. Doesn't this mean everyone is breaking the law all the time?

If you have none, then you are not in possession of any.

That answers the question, it's all about money.

its alcohol industry, worried that things like weed and glp1 is going to eliminate thier profit/industry overnight.

Don't forget about the free slave labour!

It's also about control. Wildly harsher penalties for individuals than businesses.
Hermit_Lailoken@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 23h
They get non-violent prisoners to store for profit, as well. Then they do slave labor sometimes with the prisoners.

Big gap there between 4 and 400 grams. Yikes.
Side note, it turns out that the paranoia goes away when you're in a state that doesn't give a shit

To all the shop owners: they’re doing this to fuck you as hard as they can, as well as your customers. Their only goal is to hurt people.
Do whatever you can to fight back, and step one had better be “get dirty“, because they will never fight clean. That’s how you lose. That’s how we lost.
You wanna win again? Well… You gotta do what it takes. And that means throwing out the rules. Or you’re fucking dead. want proof? You half fucking dead already. there’s your proof.
I love Barack and Michelle, but they were the end of an era. Michelle’s one mistake was to tell us to “rise above” when the paradigm shattering clown was right on their heels. We learned our lesson – – or at least some of us did. Biden didn’t. Kamala didn’t. Merrick Garland didn’t. But, those who did survived to fight another day. And they’re the ones who are winning primaries right now, and will be elected to office in November. Let’s not lose sight of that

What ideas did you have in mind for these show owners to "get dirty"? I don't disagree, but I'm not sure what there are for options.
SolacefromSilence@fedia.io · -7 pts · 23h
I don't why I thought of this, it seems unrelated. Did you catch that journalist's video about how hooligans are taking down floch cameras?
I'll let you get back to your centrist convention. It's tough out there, both sides, amiright!?
BassTurd@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 18h
My question wasn't a challenge, it was just a question trying to get more information. OP sounded like they had some specific things in mind, and I'm curious what they are. I personally am not sure how a THC distributor "gets dirty" in regards to legislation passed that hurts their business.
No, I've never heard of floch.
Don't be a douche.
turdburglar@piefed.social · 2 pts · 22h
yeah, that high road is a dead end road.
eurodyne@piefed.world · 2 pts · 13h
That’s what they want you to think.
Surely, it’s the much harder road to drive down, but it is always worth it.

Your comment history isn’t exactly a sparkling memoir to intellectualism…

So this is that freedom they keep lying to us about. 😂 I feel sorry for good Texans.

“Prison slave labor quota is low, ban something harmless and popular so more people break the law.”
Trampampoline@sh.itjust.works · 14 pts · 1d
Same thing happens in November in North Carolina. Now cops can go back to harassing you for pot smells and searching your car, and pharm companies can get another buck out of you for psych meds that don't work as well.
turdburglar@piefed.social · 10 pts · 22h
pretty sure the answer from the state to all their questions is a loud and forceful ‘FUCK YOU’.
mojofrododojo@lemmy.world · 18 pts · 17h
they voted 70%+ to legalize iirc.
their own legislature said fuck you.
lol texas
0tan0d@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 13h
don't worry in the next election Texans will vote for all GOP except like 1 dem. They absolutely will be expecting broad sweeping changes and if that dem doesn't deliver its right back to the GOP because they are good for the economy.

spent some years in texas while in the army and could never understand how a state that once had ann richards was the same state that has supercharged conservatism... not because I don't get the gop's rhetoric, I understand how that speaks to chuds, but holy hell it's not really working out well for the rest of them - the state is a shithole in so many ways. but they keep double downing on conservatives. keep reelecting ted cruz. it's wild.
and at the end of the day they want to spark a joint and just smoke it, and even though they overwhelmingly vote for it, conservatives get to say 'nope. fuck you.'

Ohio tried the same thing a few years ago. Then just a few months ago banned edibles (with the caveat they now have to be made in ohio.
This is the party of fReEdOm btw
mojofrododojo@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 5h
yeah ohio has a lot of great cities (cleveland rocks and has some of the coolest bars!) that are utterly drowning in conservative swamps.
shame that.

Delta 9 (and i believe thca) is exempt. It specifically targets the lab made products- ∆8, 10, etc.
ryannathans@aussie.zone · 3 pts · 22h
Delta 8 is found in cannabis plants though?
Today@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 14h
But it's in such small amounts that what's sold is typically created using cbd and h2so4, etc.

Complete side note. I haven’t seen you around much. Do you still believe that voting for Kamala / harm reduction would be immoral?
Edit:
I saw the downvote, and I saw the upvote after I added this edit. It’s fine. The people of Cuba, Venezuela, Palestine, Iran, Ukraine, Greenland, and the world I think can be definitively be said would have been better off with harm reduction.
