Minnesota governor signs bill legalizing recreational marijuana

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) signed a bill legalizing recreational marijuana on Tuesday, making the North Star state the 23rd in the nation to fully legalize the substance.

“We’ve known for too long that prohibiting the use of cannabis hasn’t worked,” Walz said in a statement. “By legalizing adult-use cannabis, we’re expanding our economy, creating jobs, and regulating the industry to keep Minnesotans safe.”

LOL! The joke's on them. The negative externalities will costs way more than any "benefit" they might expect.

I would have figured Ventura would have signed this years ago.

"Minnesota governor signs bill legalizing recreational marijuana"

New visitors may wonder why, in a land of 10000 lakes so many natives smell of skunk.

Just making it easier to dumb down the population. If anything, weed should only be legal for retirees. The way the Denver area is going, fast food will be no cash and only kiosk driven. Maybe they’ll eventually be able to get humans completely out of the process. They’ll have to, what’s behind the counter now is getting more stupid every year to the point where food poisoning will become a major issue.

Couple this with stating they won’t enforce minor moving violations like not using your blinkers, etc. and we have a great recipe for mechanized mayhem.

Another dumb sh*t move, but after 2020, what else should we expect.

On a related note, stick with me and you’ll see why. From today in the UK’s Daily Mail...

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12208813/5-killed-moments-ahead-friends-wedding-suspect-slams-car-fleeing-cops.html

But the paper left a bit out, didn’t it, if the perp in the following is the sane perp. From 2020, California, and note the Minnesota tie-in...

https://keyt.com/news/crime/2020/02/05/driver-in-montecito-hit-and-run-that-put-woman-in-coma-sentenced-to-8-years-in-prison/

If it’s the same perp, why isn’t he still behind bars??

And isn’t legalizing weed just a dandy idea!

SNORT.
