I'd love to stick to the non-illicit sales, however, they banned everything except "Knock off tobacco flavor" which was deemed "safe" by the FDA at the behest of Tobacco industry lobbyists.

I'll take my "unknown risks" over "known risks of lung cancer, throat cancer, and COPD"... Because as of now, I'm breathing better, and am in better shape now that I gave up combustion of tobacco excepting in a blunt.

Which, interestingly enough, is another area I prefer the "illicit sales" than the "legal sales"... Cannabis in NYS has a shite legal market, and a really good "illicit market".

They'll keep the ban. Because they need to protect the tobacco industry.

I buy my vapes in "illicit sales", and I'm very much an adult. I just prefer it to knock-off tobacco flavors. And, frankly, there's no real way for me to quit nicotine at this time.

I like nicotine. I don't like the lung cancer, is all.

Not at all, but nice try!

The same medical professionals who thought being gay was a mental illness?

How about nobody gets to pick and choose who gets what rights?

If they are white, and trying to steal grazing lands? Nothing.

If you are protesting the abuse of the state? You get shot.

No it isn't. Look here:

Nowhere is "being a drunk" a DQ for owning a gun. Hell, being drunk, while buying the gun doesn't preclude you.

People have already lost faith in the Dems... Why do you think so many people stayed home?

Who judges these "mental states"? The state? So, like... in the 1980's, gay people couldn't own guns? Remember, it too, was a "mental disease"...

Well, there's something to be said for that election... 2016 I honestly figured Trump would be no difference than Clinton, in all honestly. They are both wealthy oligarchs, who look to solidify their interests.

Obviously, that was not true.

There is only one way out of fascism, and it's not by playing nice. Non-violent methods only work if the opposition has a conscience.

Based protestor. The hero we need, but don't deserve.
