It’s Not Your Father’s Pot Anymore
Taki's Magazine ^ | Oct 17, 2024 | Ann Coulter

Posted on 10/28/2024 5:34:54 PM PDT by chickenlips

Remember all those great ideas George Soros had about crime and open borders? Guess what the spawn of Satan, whose every idea is designed to increase human misery, is pushing now? Legal weed.

Switching out Americans for third worlders and releasing violent predators from prison gave him kicks for a while. But way too many Americans had not yet become McDonald’s-fattened, glassy-eyed deadbeats who spend most of their time sprawled across a filthy couch ordering DoorDash pizza, playing video games and not looking for work.

Legalizing marijuana is the last step, the silver bullet to the heart of what’s left of our country. Tantalize the public with a drug that will turn them into low-IQ losers, crashing cars, committing suicide and rushing to emergency rooms with their cannabis-induced scromiting (uncontrollable screaming and vomiting at the same time — one of the many charming side-effects of widely available pot).

That’s not even the best part. The cherry on top is that a very, very, very small number of corporate magnates with absolutely no conscience stand to make billions. Big Pot will make Big Tobacco and Big Pharma look like your family doctor.

With that kind of money at stake, the pot-legalizers are spending hundreds of millions of dollars on pot initiatives this year in Arkansas, Florida, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oregon and South Dakota so they can start profiting off ruined lives in six more states. According to Open Secrets, the group pushing the Florida pot initiative, “Smart & Safe Florida” — or, more accurately: “Lose 8 Points of Your IQ & Murder Your Wife Florida” — had raised more money than for any other ballot initiative this year, on any issue, in the entire country.

Yeah, yeah I know alcohol is bad too. That's still no argument for legalizing weed.

What’s left to legalize in Oregon, weed-wise?

But what about all the tax revenue they collect off of weed?

Oh. That’s right. It’s lost to lower social, economic and educational standards while welfare costs go up.

How very interesting for Ann Coulter to take an anti marijuana approach here when her BFF is a dope (user).

There’s no reason to make it illegal.

Looking at my ballot, there’s a measure to stifle speech from cannabis dispensary owners, re: organization by employees. Maybe that’s what they mean. Doesn’t seem to fit the narrative, though.

I’m reading this and agreeing with it, but at the same time can’t take it seriously given the author and her antics of the last few years.

Grass is legal in Arizona.

They have these stores all over where you can buy bags, gummies, bongs, papers, clips, you name it...and good prices.

...and the gubmint! Well the gubmint takes a whopping 24% tax sales tax. .

I am voting NO on that amendment. A legal cartel is still a cartel. Another reason I am voting no is the growing idiocy among the populace.

Especially since there still no national standard for what constitutes driving while stoned.

Yeah, and now the stench is all over my yard every weekend because the eleven guys who live next door whoop it up outside.

Exactly. How can you protect your family, yourself, your country if you’re zoned out?

I don't know. They've legalized even psychdelics in Oregon. Which explains a lot about their politics.
