300 million in recreational pot sales in illlinois so far this year that netted 67 million in tax revenue for the state, make it legal nationwide. Of course you have to make sure the governments use these funds wisely but there’s no reason why we should not have this on the federal election ballot like yesterday.

Yes Please

You can smoke weed in Colorado but do time in jail in Texas for it

make it legal nationwide and keep all these corporations out of it, and let the profits stay in the communities d*** policy has harmed

As a Canadian, it’s absolutely wild to me that there are parts of the US where you can own an assault rifle, yet do time for weed.

Lol

Right to bear arms is in the constitution dawg

That doesnt make it logical

A goddamn M14 tho?

I understand pistols and rifles but idrk how to feel about the assault rifle topic yet

I’m not anti gun, but if ARs are legal then weed should definitely be legal.

Niggas acting like slavery wasn’t originally part of the constitution

whats funny?

How do you plan to regulate it to a point of safety then? Eg pgr, pesticides, general poor growing conditions etc

I guess if people grew their own s*** that wouldnt be a big problem but realistically not many can grow it

you can regulate it and provide all this stuff without corporations being involved lol.

Ok sure im asking how

by just having government regulations that growers/sellers etc., have to follow?

And everyones just expected to follow the rules? At what scale do you see these independent non corporate growers/sellers?

That’s like a 22% tax. That’s not ok. Be considerate of the people feeding their families in that industry. Why is it ok for the government to take almost a fourth of their income?

Who else is paying 22% in taxes? How much does amazon pay? Do you know what a marijuana grow license costs in some states?

The second amendment is for protection against government tyranny, not protection against home invaders though it does apply intuitively

uh yeah why wouldn't they be lol?

and they could be done at the community level. we're not even talking about necessarily independent. there could still be businesses, but large corporations are out.

That you think that would actually happen

should vs would

The government would eviscerate you before you took that s*** off safety

Ok i agree I misunderstood what you meant by corporations

Cuz illinois is broke

How’s that?
