And when they perform raids, they should be required to shout “This is a F.A.C.T. jack”! Thank you for coming to my TED talk.
Counterpoint: Neither of those organizations should exist at all.
Woah there buddy, if you want housing, food and healthcare, go get incarcerated like everyone else.
Cannabis should be regulated by the FDA like any other vegetable. I should be able to buy weed at the farmer’s market. Nobody says “oh you can only have two and a half ounces of kale at your house”, “oh you can only grow so many tomatoes”, “oh out of state residents can’t buy more than a 12 pack”
Waaait if I am a US resident and go accross a state line im not allowed to buy a 30 pack of beer? Crossing a country border doesn’t even prevent that.
But different areas do have weird restrictions on what you can buy and when. I live in Massachusetts so am familiar with blue laws, but …
On a trip to Pennsylvania a year or two ago, I had some microbrews I really liked and wanted to stock up from the local businesses, but apparently Pennsylvania law limits me to two six packs? wtf? Maybe I’m an edge case driving through and wanting to buy some for the next several weeks or parties but wtf
From last time I was in Pennsylvania, the laws were the weirdest I’ve seen, though who knows, maybe other NE states are the same. You can buy six packs at bars, which I guess seems more normal now in the age of brewpubs, but if you want more than that, you have to go to a ‘beer distributor’, who only sell cases.

amazing, the stupidity of other people.
Crossing a country border doesn’t even prevent that.
Really depends on what countries you’re talking about.
At the very least, you’re likely to need to pay taxes on the goods, which is part of what the state laws are about. Confederacies like the EU maybe excepted.
Sure if I take it back over the border. The scenario I had in my mind was going to see friends or taking it back to a hotel room.
In fairness, I think I should be able to get tobacco at the farmer’s market too. But regardless of my personal feelings, I can buy as many smokes as I want in Iowa and they’re like half the price of Illinois smokes.
There is no state in the country where tobacco isn’t age-restricted, which is what I’m focused on here. It’s incredibly normal and routine for us to restrict certain things behind being a legal adult.
Making cannabis or tobacco equivalent to zucchini would be a complete sea-change in how we think of minors and their decision-making abilities.
I knew a guy a long time ago who said “Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms should not be a branch of the government. It should be a convenience store.”
Not that I agreed with him, but it was an amusing and unexpected take.
I give to you the ATF Convenience Store in Kingman, AZ

Sure thing that “legalized everywhere” you talk about:
They mentioned the ATF. It was explicitly US centric and while a bit hyperbolic it is becoming more common there.
You mean ATF as in the automatic transmission fluid? No it was not explicitly US centric. You thinking a three letter acronym has to be about the US is just further evidence of the same assumption being the basis for all your thoughts.
That’s a you problem. You need to learn to Google stuff in context. “ATF” alone might not tell you what it is, but you had “cannabis” and “dea” as 2 other keywords you could’ve used. That’s like putting “right” in Google translate and complaining that it sucks because it gave you the word for “just” instead of the opposite of “left”
Brazillian medical exception needs a big asterisk. You can get medical permits but you cannot grow and they are not legal distribution neither. You basically have to start growing illegally, then going to the police department close to you with a lawyer signed document saying that you are growing against the law to be able to fulfill the legally medical judge permit. If you’re in condition to do that, that mean you have enough money that police are not going to bother you anyways because they only harass poor and black people.
Yea, I have not done any quality control on the image. However the point was just to point out that weed is not legal almost everywhere, contrary to the post title. There are probably lots of inaccuracies, though the main point still stands.
Its still illegal at a federal level and I don’t see that changing any time soon. You can’t smoke your pot and work for the government.
