This is honestly one of the saddest parts about all of this. 80+ years of scientific research that we could have been doing. All of the treatments and medicines that we’d likely have…
Every single time we learn something new and positive about a chemical in cannabis, I can’t help but think that we should have known this shit for decades…
They’ve set up a situation where they can basically choose when and to whom, the law will apply. This is exactly what Republicans want.
This will be a defining feature of the upcoming Trump regime. You may have heard your Fox News watching relatives mention “lawfare” when talking about Trump being a criminal… Well it’s more projection because it is exactly what they will be doing moving forward.
As it always is with conservatives, they are incapable of understanding that someone might not be a complete piece of shit like they are, so in their minds, everyone must be doing the thing that they want to be doing.
They will likely just use it as one of their legal cudgels for silencing dissent/opposition and “punishing” political opponents. In other words, they don’t give a shit, but it will still be technically illegal so they can use it when it suits them.
Alcohol should be illegal? What a dumb take.
Sounds like narcissism.
What you are describing is legalization. The thing that Elton John is railing against here.
Yes. Anyone who has experienced physical drug addiction knows that not all drugs/addictions are created equal.
For example, you can literally die from alcohol withdrawal.
If anything, cannabis keeps me sane enough to not need to medicate myself with harder shit to escape this shithole reality.

Besides, if he’s successfully gone through rehab, he’s not exactly going to be pro-drugs after that.
Wanting cannabis to be legal isn’t necessarily “pro-drug.” No more than wanting alcohol to be legal is.
That’s fucked.
“Don’t shag people under 18” is not a tall ask.
For people with fully formed brains, sure.
For a literal teenager going through puberty, on vacation in a hot, foreign place, that runs into someone they’re attracted to who is from the same place as them? Yeah, not so much. It’s literal biology.
Does that suddenly become difficult when they pass an arbitrary date? This girl was months away from turning 18. Nobody involved in this case is even a citizen of Dubai.
I’m usually the last person to make this type of comment, but these circumstances are absurd.
If you are working as an influncer in Dubai you’ll need to obtain an license which regulates what you can post but you basically pay no income taxes
Because the propaganda you’re providing for them would be priceless…
Well if you’re an American, it might start making more sense to you in a few months when we have fucking 100% tariffs on imported shit (or whatever the fuck he’s going to do).
Wait really? Do they really have no sewer lines/mains? LOL…
Seems like that’s exactly what The Satanic Temple is doing.
One of the few AI applications I’ve seen that I haven’t completely hated, is Amazon’s AI summary of product reviews. Of course, you have to take it with a grain of salt, because while it will mention negatives every now and then, I’m sure it cannot be completely trusted.
Just in time for the fall of American democracy. What could possibly go wrong.
I think you will find out in a month or two what they mean by “now.” Give it a year and there will be no question.
Shit has been bad, yes, but if you think this will just be more of the same, then you are in for a rude awakening.
