Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Yes,and then the trans drag queens will start raping children with those joints and their BLT BBQ agenda! And the sun will go dark, and the milk in cows' udders will go sour, and then banned books are going to rain from the sky, right Ron?

Pearls clutched!

And as long as they aren't being given/sold to minors, I don't care! I'm sure half the teachers have harder stuff on hand anyway.

I see that you, too, have met a lot of teachers outside of the classroom as an adult.

Hey, elementary school kids need connections for weed just like everybody else, so I'm sure that will happen all the time.

Also, if you give cops "qualified immunity" they might decide to start murdering innocent people for no reason and get away with it. Only that happens to be true.

Which school, exactly? Asking for a friend.

Promises promises.

Spicoli and Mr Hand would like a word…

Does it ever occur to anyone to just say, "that doesn't make any sense and is probably a distortion"?

Seeing as his supporters believe they're destined to spend eternity in flames, unless a man in a robe puts water on their heads, because a rib woman was once convinced by a talking snake to eat magical fruit, I'm thinking no.

Don't forget you have to eat God converted into crackers and wine after telling the robe man all your secrets.

That's enough to share with the class! I mean, if you're going to bring it to school, you have to bring enough to share. Those are the rules of schools.

Correct, but other laws still prohibit distribution to minors, and smoking near the building. So all it allows is keeping them on your person or with your belongings to eventually be consumed elsewhere. Doing anything with them that could be harmful to children would still be illegal.

Interesting the bill doesn't allow home growing.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

That's as many as two tens!

Also:

How the court let that language on the ballot, I will never understand. You read the language, it does not do justice.

Yeah, IMAGINE, allowing people to decide, for themselves, if they want actual freedom. I mean, there is just no justice any more.
