I smoke occasionally. I think weed should be legalized but you should be executed by firing squad if you smoke in public or near kids.

But beyond that, imagine the kind of lobbying industry this is going to create. Imagine how every single city is going to smell. Imagine how bad drivers are going to get.

I'm sure the illegal weed market is ecstatic about the news as well.

It’s so fucking over

I don't get your seething over this. No one prosecutes for marijuana anymore anyway. It reduces DA burden and opens up avenues for legitimate medical testing. LSD is still schedule 1 but tech bros love to micro dose and extol its benefits.

Edibles and vapes exist. Not everyone is going to light up a joint outside of school, but yes I think there should be stiff penalties for smoking weed in public. Taking illegals, both South American and jeets off the streets will improve traffic safety more than banning weed ever will.

I knew people who picked up vaping to quit cigarettes. It worked but then they got even more addicted to vaping where they were doing weird bathroom chemistry for custom nicotine concentrations.

Vaping slowly on its way out for cheaper nicotine pouches. The disposable replacements for Juul were worse, filled with chink chemical concoctions that wreck zoomers appearances, plus schools cracked down on it.

In retrospect, I can’t even remember what about weed was enjoyable when I was younger. I think the secret ingredient is your own youth and just the opportunity to experience it differently

But like, now, weed is just weird. There’s no dopamine or anything from using it, literally nothing but an annoying lack of clarity

Trump has legalized that ting, mon. Smoke the herb, relax. It's conservative and something Hitler would do.

How the fuck do so many people not know to use comparatives anymore?

No they don’t. European socialists living off of welfare who LARP as tech workers on Hacker News aren’t actual software engineers.

The vast, vast majority of real programmers don’t use any drugs besides alcohol and caffeine.

No one campaigned on using our soldiers to overthrow Venezuela

yes, Trump is winning so bigly that he's giving me things i didn't even know i wanted

Man, I miss when the news was willing to put retarded niggers on TV.

COPS was a treasure.

Vaping was (idk if it still is) a massive problem in high school and the ease of use for a vape means that it's much easier for a child to stumble upon it and use it.

I stopped buying Chinese vapes after their prices doubled because of tariffs, switched to Zyns instead. I’d assume broke teenagers would do the same.

Legalization here in Canada did fuck all to curb illegal weed.

weed makes you stupid and lazy but you just stay inside and don’t harm anybody.

Now alcohol on the other hand…..

I mean they’re both bad and harmful, but weed probably is superior.

What about the psychosis from weed?

Zyns require showing ID at a store. Vapes have so many workarounds to obtain them

Only happens if 1) you’re genetically predisposed to it or 2) you smoke 50% THC fake shit

What about it? And stop following me!

Dude. It's just a "Hey, you should do this" EO. The Xeet is misleading. Nothing could happen for the next 3 years and it just gets forgotten about.

Total and complete American legalization. Freedom restored. Roll one up patriots.

In the news of arts and theater, the the Kennedy Center board has voted to rename itself the Trump-Kennedy Center.

From an article on the matter:

This isn't just shit posting. This is shit posting elevated to an art form.

Back when I was underage, I’d just order them online. No ID or anything. The sites probably still exist today, I’ve seen them advertise on TikTok and Instagram.
