the US is not legal in any sense in any state just ask Flip Flop Joe
here we prop up corporate cannabis and continue to erode consumer protections like everything else we do
we say one thing in public to other countries but behind closed doors the US has degraded to militarized police control where when one is arrested the cops control the narrative along with the judges not common law
cannabis is legal for the corporations to trade and profit off of and there are no protections for consumers just empty promises
Flip Flop Joe?
Fuck me you coulda dug deeper and used waffle or something better. Flip Flop Joe just sounds like a dude who’s bringing the party with him.
They are trying to evoke John Kerry... I guess.
I’d have gone with Sloppy Joe, if you’re going the food route.
Waffling was the term used before and everyone loved Waffles.
Sloppy Joe is actually good though
Can you elaborate? Because I have purchased legally sold cannabis up the East coast of the USA. Both recreational and medical cannabis. Do you mean on a federal level?
I also own a medical cannabis card issued to me by the state I live in.
I’m also unsure about your corporation comments. Most dispensaries are owned by mom and pops or startups. Do, do you live in the USA? Just curious.
work in the industry and have for years and with legal experts on this matter in different states and am not the first generation in the family to do so and no this does not make me an expert but an observer throughout the years
most mom and pop dispensaries are usually funded by corporate cannabis funds either by loans or investments and more times than not eventually bought out
yes you may have bought products from a legal dispensary but if you get pulled by the wrong cop and there are more of them than good ones you could face five years or more for simple possession or just get a slap on the wrist even in legal states
all depends on the cops and the judges and what they say the story is, there are no lab tests done for most court cases, and terry stops are on the rise were reasonable suspicion is not needed to pull over and toss the contents of the vehicles
not just the federal illegality of it but the states not coming together on laws both with cannabis and other laws that touch the laws making cannabis illegal such as Roe v. Wade falling
Biden promising then flip flopping on cannabis and then him and his party not properly defending women's rights have opened a huge rift allowing for more extortion of the US citizens and not much legal ground is left to defend one's self
No, when you say that cannabis is not legal in the USA in any state in any sense…
What exactly do you mean by that? I just gave you numerous examples of the legality of cannabis in some states. I literally have a state issued ID to have and consume marijuana. How do you justify your statement with the facts I have given you?
mean there is nothing protecting your right to your state issued ID to have and consume cannabis products
have something all day long but whether your right to do is protected is altogether a different story
we are now dealing with this with the drug mifepristone
a state may allow you to have it but is the right to carry that medication protected if you go elsewhere in the "United States" or just elsewhere in the state you are in
some cities are now half medical and/or recreational and the other half illegal and/or medicinal
just like with cannabis that now has become a questionable scenario and a very fractured and confusing place to navigate legally
I am not from the US and understand how the US law works better than you do
This is not the first time I've seen one of your comments at the dead bottom, downvoted into oblivion. Maybe it's time to reevaluate some of your opinions? It really doesn't help that you write with the clarity of a recent stroke victim.
Let’s not make fun of people who struggle to communicate.
Make fun of the bullshit they’re struggling to communicate.
He's not wrong though. For example in VA it's legal but you can't buy it because of administrative stuff. In AZ they decided to rename it so it wasn't technically covered by the ballot measure to legalize it. That's just two that I'm aware of. So it's not what it looks like from the outside at all. And God help you if you try to get high in a national park or BLM land and get found by a federal police officer. (That's something like half the land west of the Mississippi River and it's not signposted.)
It's extremely legal here in California so the initial extreme blanket statement is immediately disproven. Everything that follows is not worth reading.
Light up in front of a Yosemite Park Ranger. See what happens.
Sure, and I'll share with them, and ask how long they're visiting San Francisco for
Right and you're the king of England too.
