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

[-] originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com 30 points 2 months ago

the 'dont tread on me' state is quite the opposite.. 'do what we say, or else'

an entire state run by fragile little snowflakes

[-] aramis87@fedia.io 11 points 2 months ago

Texas, the One Star State.

[-] originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com 11 points 2 months ago

It's not just our motto, it's our rating!

[-] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 months ago

Yeah, Texas is a joke for exactly this reason.

[-] nilloc@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 2 months ago

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

[-] TheRealShadeSlimmy@lemmy.world 32 points 2 months ago

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?

[-] aramis87@fedia.io 7 points 2 months ago

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

[-] Hermit_Lailoken@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

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

[-] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 5 points 2 months ago

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

[-] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 months ago

Don't forget about the free slave labour!

[-] Frozengyro@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

It's also about control. Wildly harsher penalties for individuals than businesses.

[-] Hermit_Lailoken@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

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

[-] BassTurd@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

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.

[-] turdburglar@piefed.social 3 points 2 months ago

yeah, that high road is a dead end road.

[-] eurodyne@piefed.world 2 points 2 months ago

That’s what they want you to think.

Surely, it’s the much harder road to drive down, but it is always worth it.

Isn’t there some anime boob somewhere missing your drool?

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

[-] phoenixarise@lemmy.world 19 points 2 months ago

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

[-] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 17 points 2 months ago

“Prison slave labor quota is low, ban something harmless and popular so more people break the law.”

[-] Trampampoline@sh.itjust.works 16 points 2 months ago

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 13 points 2 months ago

pretty sure the answer from the state to all their questions is a loud and forceful ‘FUCK YOU’.

[-] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 20 points 2 months ago

they voted 70%+ to legalize iirc.

their own legislature said fuck you.

lol texas

[-] 0tan0d@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

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.

[-] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

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.'

[-] Thebeardedsinglemalt@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

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 3 points 2 months ago

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.

[-] Today@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

Delta 9 (and i believe thca) is exempt. It specifically targets the lab made products- ∆8, 10, etc.

[-] ryannathans@aussie.zone 4 points 2 months ago

Delta 8 is found in cannabis plants though?

[-] Today@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

But it's in such small amounts that what's sold is typically created using cbd and h2so4, etc.

[-] mholiv@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

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.
