I guarantee you Felix knows people that smoke weed and I'm sure he would never turn them in no matter how much weed they smoked, if they are his friends. Or say Republican politician he likes. There is a 0% chance Felix is not a hypocrite about this.

But he would like for others to be punished for weed.

The vast majority of Republicans this day are Herschel Walkers.

Have you ever seen anyone on weed? Ive had the displeasure of trying to business with someone who had recently smoked. I was trying to place an order and they could not even understand basic things. In between the stupid laughing and incoherence it was a bad trip man.
Why does that make weed a danger to society? You saw some dude working and high and that means there is a societal danger?

They're gonna do this in steps. This is only the first one. There will be more changes on pot before '24 as well.

Anyone ever hear of a person stoned on pot do something violent?

Dude, shut the fuck up with this opposite stupidity. Lots of violence has been perpetrated by people on pot. If I'm not mistaken Aaron Hernandez had just smoked a bowl with the guy he fucking murdered.

Now if you replaced weed with sexual assault and especially that involving minors I'd probably agree with you. But he's absolutely the type of person that would report a friend to police if he found them with weed. He'd be a chicken shit about it for sure, but he'd do it. Which is why he doesn't have real in person friends. Although he probably has plenty of acquaintances from church, but its the same type of busybodies that probably spend all day posting on those awful neighborhood apps.

Altering one's states of consciousness is dangerous to established powers and authoritarian states because they are a doorway to awakening to the fact that reality isn't what we were told it is. Sadly, however, we were told reality is what we believe it to be as a result of becoming Stockholm victims and where the awakening also includes the surfacing of the pain that entailed, a terrible struggle to keep those memories repressed can ensue. That's what can cause a bad trip and much worse. Without self understanding and psychological wisdom drugs can be dangerous.
It is all about fear. We have drug laws because drugs can cause people to experience involuntarily what they feel what they are terrified to feel, their own level of self hate. Politicians seize on saving people from those fears to win votes. Pass draconian laws that create fear of being caught to quash drug use.

We are fucked sideways from breakfast because we fear knowing what it is that we fear, fear itself. We live programmed lives sound asleep, open to manipulation.
They are the party of the most psychologically fearful of what they feel, the ones most psychotic over the notion the world is a battleground of good and evil with going to heaven or hell at stake, those who are full of judgment of others and project that as an attribute of God.
Amen.

The self evident truth, written down for all to read.

Thank you.

My gas mower and leaf blower aren't going anywhere anytime soon. But all the other stuff is fair game for me to battery ize
I love my electric blower and my electric* riding lawn mower. It works great on my personal lawn. Also used it to mow down very heavy grass in some areas for entertainment. Very effective, more power then gas.

The leaf blower is as good as gas**, and the mower has more power but less duration. Way cheaper to run, and no need to winterize.

Give it a try, you will not go back.


*the mowers that take lithium batteries are way better
**using a brushless model from dewalt

If you are against marijuana because you think it's dangerous, then you must be for the prohibition of alcohol. It's far more dangerous. Otherwise you are just stating nonsense.

Okay, it's fine to be for legalization of pot, but I've never heard of someone getting in an accident because they took an aspirin. Or decided to sit around and take an aspirin instead of parenting their kid. Or people spending money on aspirin as opposed to food.

This was a good decision, and pot should at least be decriminalized and probably fully legalized, but advertising should be banned just like it is for tobacco.

In many places around the world where they thought legalization was the answer (to the ills of drug use in society,) they only discovered that things just got worse. The reason is that criminals are now emboldened and more violent.

Criminals work to sell untaxed drugs with impunity and seek to bribe officials and/or threaten cops and judges, etc, with violence while also campaign to keep lowering the bar on the sale of drugs. Kind of like the cartel hell endured in Mexico, but with a democratic twist.


Remember how the Netherlands led the world in decriminalization?

Wait you really think this is a connection?

This has nothing to do with marijuana legalization. Cocaine is not legal, therefore it is still black market, therefore it will be part of a criminal enterprise.

Please explain how legalizing marijuana has anything to do with this. Good luck. You might need a hit of weed to figure it out. But more likely a psychedelic.

Legalization was supposed to counter the illegal aspects of drug sales but it does not. It only makes it worse. That includes marijuana.

No, you didn't say anything about locking up up potheads for trying to work stoned. You said you wanted everyone to get locked up for getting stoned period.
