Did you know 95% of convicts used marijuana?
If you don’t know there is a correlation between marijuana usage and antisocial criminal activity, then go buy yourself a clue.
What - could Possibly - GO WRONG????
What a brilliant idea.
95% of convicts probably also use alcohol, so what?
Buy yourself a clue bubbe, correlation is not causation.
Well if sociopaths work in Congress, mafia types work at the police state agencies, I guess it makes sense that convicts will work in the drug industry.
This is a way to make the marijuana industry a big donor to the Democrats, because the Democrats will use taxpayer money to subsidize it. Kind of like the Democrats’ relationship with the abortion industry.
How many mansions can a socialist own?
EVERY day, in EVERY way, these LIEberal Democrat Bozos add to and increase my understanding of the phrase “bat-shit” crazy!
Receipt? It wasn’t free?
The whole Cannabis push is truly disgusting and insane.
Brilliant. Wonder when he’ll reveil his program on rehabilitating pedofiles by having them run daycare centers?
I grow my own. I probably spend ten minutes a day on average. Not sure what all these folks are going to be doing all day.
California is ahead of the game in that they already decided to give medical marijuana business aid to minorities who were negatively affected by the war on drugs:

If Bernie is going to legalize marijuana and add ex convicts to the waiting list, that’s going to involve a lot of money. How much marijuana do we need anyway? Are we going to have a pot shop next to every liquor store? Will they put medical marijuana stores out of business? Many questions.
Fox, meet henhouse.

and if that doesn’t work out, the ex-convicts could always go to work in the fentanyl industry ...
Bernie should get some credit here. Obviously he knows that the government would require massive subsidies to do half as well in a business that has made teenagers and high school dropouts rich for decades.

Any old ex-convicts or just the “rehabilitated” ones? Ten days in a county jail with work release for a DUI does not an ex-con make.
Thanks Bern! Some great outside the box thinking there! Though ex-stoner Beto will surely come with something larger and madder.
