    Every one of my republican voting friends owns firearms and smokes weed. One of them has a hemp businesses that they’re just waiting to switch over to cannabis as soon as it’s legalized. Guess who’s the most diehard Trump lover of the bunch…

            This is an extremely Republican train of thought, are you sure you’re on the right side of the table here?

              What does political affiliation have to do with anything here?

              In a global utilitarianism point of view, the best course of action is not to pursue that.

              I’m a kantian point of view, there are no exceptions to rules. If you find an exception, it’s a bad rule and needs to be rewritten.

              I’m taking a kantian ethics point of view. Why does this appear to be Republican to you?

          I’m not saying to do it. I’m simply pointing out that it’s an option and not an amazing one at that.

      Gro-bro culture.

      Every weed grower voted against legalization when California would have been the first in the nation to legalize in 2012.

        • My primary concern from the perspective of someone living in a prohibition state is that it is the last cottage industry that someone can start doing when they can’t or won’t get another job. If weed doesn’t serve that function anymore, the alternatives that are left are generally much more dangerous criminal activity, such as selling coke or prostitutes. Psychedelics don’t move fast enough to pay the bills.

        My pothead roommate was livid when that failed. Went on a big rant about it. At the end, I was like “ohh, when did you vote? I didn’t see you leave all day”, and he was like “well, I didn’t vote… but this is fucking bullshit”
