Ban THC but allow alcohol, tobacco, and guns?
BHA-HA-HA-HA!
i love how joe rogan and elon moved to texas from california for “freedom”
They just banned them here in Alabama last week
But it snows in Minnesota. Fuck being cold.
The houses are warm and insulated (in general). The clothing keeps one warm between buildings. Friendly people.
Snow is around for less than 6 months a year.
I feel so bad for normal decent Texans. Their politicians are among the worst in the world. I can’t think of a single Texas Republican who doesn’t deserve the death penalty.
Texas, you’re gonna upset Joe Rogan!
Good.gif
Joe Rogan is a piece of shit. He became a multi millionaire in California because of the infrastructure and people of California. Then instead of staying and playing taxes to give a bit back to the community, he took his money and ran to Texas.
A classic fuck you I got mine.
That is not why he is a piece of shit.
He is a piece of shit because he is a fascist propagandist. Who cares if he moved money? He enables fascists.
This is why you guys are where you are right now. You have accepted fascism like it’s normal.
AMERICANS HAVE NORMALIZED FASCISM BECAUSE OF JOE ROGAN.
Take a breath.
If you run around calling everyone a fascist no-one will take you seriously.
Rogan is not an elected official nor really active in anything to rise to the level of fascist. He’s a piece of shit moron, but if he’s a fascist that everyone and no-one is.
He called one person a fascist whom spreads fascist propaganda
I think you are placing the bar for facism a bit high friend. You don’t have to be in government or influential in any way to be a fascist. You can be a homeless person who hasn’t spoken to another person in a year and still be a fascist. You can also be a fascist without believing that you are…
Fascism is both a set of beliefs taken to an extreme and actions wittingly or not done that furthers the power or reach of an organized group who holds those beliefs. More or less it means facism can be something you do rather than something you believe strongly in. Your rank and file facist is tricked into the position.
Joe Rogan is either a facist or a puppet/ tool of facists that serves as a algorithm kidnapper into their pipeline to normalize their veiw points. Whether Rogan himself holds these beliefs personally is kind of irrelevant. It is the use to which he has been put and the damage is done.
So what word would you prefer for someone who intentionally provides a large platform for fascists to spout their rhetoric and misinformation, thus helping them gain power?
This is not how being a fascist works.
Why? Nothing is gonna change for him. Little americans when you upset their favourite rich people is when it’s getting dangerous

Is Tim Walz Canadian?
Tim Walz is the governor of Minnesota. (Wikipedia)
That’s Tim Horton.
it’s not about the weed, it’s about making more excuses to detain/arrest/murder brown people
“You want to know what this [war on drugs] was really all about? The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people. You understand what I’m saying?
We knew we couldn’t make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders, raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news.
Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did.”
~ John Ehrlichman, Assistant to the President for Domestic Affairs under President Richard Nixon

True, but they DO still like denying fun to themselves and their same-race underlings as well.
Ding
Not a full ding ding ding, but a bit of ding
It’s definitely about the brown people, but it’s also about religious control over people. Soon buggery will be prohibited for some bullshit reason, divorce will be outlawed again so that Texas finally finally can get back to its racist roots of the 1800’s. All we need then is some good ol’ slavery to finish it all off
Sodomy/buggery is technically still illegal in Texas
It’s unenforceable because the Supreme Court overturned the states ability to enforce the law but they’ve still never removed the laws. The last attempt was in 2023 and failed. They have arguably fought to protect the laws on the books for a time like now, when they could challenge and overturn the 2003 decision made in Lawrence v Texas and suddenly reenact all of those laws at once without having to re establish a legal framework once a sympathetic supreme court opens the floodgates for homophobia
May I introduce you to the Texas Prison System? They clean our highways, do hard labor, work for our universities doing landscaping,
yep, that’s why they’re trying to swap the meanings of “education” and “indoctrination”-- accuse schools of “liberal indoctrination” and take over all the boards so they can force their own “education” which is literally the textbook definition of indoctrination
from the party of “god gave us free will!!!” which is also the party of “you will believe in jesus or else”
Religious piousness is the excuse, it’s the cover story. You don’t really think those mega church pastors believe what they say and then fly around in golden jets do you? It’s about the power they have over people.
EDIT: after reading you comment more carefully, yes we agree
Buggery is anal penetration of an animal.
Buggery
The criminal offense of anal or oral copulation by penetration of the male organ into the anus or mouth of another person of either sex OR copulation between members of either sex with an animal. (Emphasis mine)
this combined with them really pushing to make recording the police a felony
to be exact, to fill up those 70+ for profit prisons in texas.
Legalized weed makes everything safer, crime goes down, people are dealing with addiction less, drinking even goes down, all of these things are terrible for the police
No way would I encourage anyone from that shitty state to move to my state. Stay there and deal with the mess you made.
We’re still paying for their goddamned Feb '21 weather event on our power bills!
you do realize people can’t choose where they were born or what living situation they’re forced into, right?
A lot of people don’t realize how rigged Texas is, or how recent it’s redness is.
The Governor prior to Bush was a Democratic woman. Bush got elected off his name, then got the Presidency. In the Republican bump from that the Republicans got a majority in the Texas legislature for the first time since Reconstruction in 2003, which they used to massively gerrymander the state.
Prior to 2004, the majority of Texas reps.to Congress had never been Republican. Following the 2003 redistricting, it was over 2:1 Republican. They’ve locked down voting districts and attacked voting rights ever since to maintain their majority, while courting out-of-state conservatives to move to Texas and driving progressives away.
The reality is the Republicans got full control of the state government in a single legitimate election in 2002 and have spent the last 2 decades rigging the system to ensure they never lose that power.
The blue print for what’s come after across the country.
I have been doing everything reasonably possible to prevent and unfuck my local situation in Texas, but the state as a whole is absolutely screwed. I would argue that a very large minority is aggressively uninformed politically, and has no desire to educate themselves. They want to be sucked into the gravity well of their bigotry and hate and Christian window-dressing. It’s disgusting and depressing and you would not believe the amount of people that I respected before all of this mess that I want nothing to do with anymore because of the ideologies they are willing to espouse. I barely interact with any of my family any more because most of them wanted this situation and still won’t openly admit that they did this.
I feel completely powerless and like my only option is to run as far away from the place I have called home for my entire life.
That’s how I’m starting to feel about the USA as a whole, but there’s no place that I can think would take my family easily.
You know that not everyone in Texas voted for this shit, right? Many people voted against it, and many can’t vote because they were underage at the time, undocumented or disenfranchised.
So kindly, take your bad take and get fucked.
The people of Texas are gerrymandered to oblivion and this is well documented. They didn’t vote for this. Billionaires came to Tx and bought the politicians, maga spread through and removed the old style Rs.
Not that I think anyone should try to run from these problems. They should be faced head on. But, it’s important to not blame the wrong people.
Gerrymandering makes no difference for Governor and presidential elections.
Ya sure 'bout that.
Gerrymandering artificially shifts the political lines and, pushed far enough, it can have a domino effect even on elections not directly determined by district lines. Mostly because the new people in power will immediately begin messing with election laws or putting voting pressure on the people they “represent” in a bid to hang on to that power. Gerrymandering tips the balances, and when it tips too far for too long . . .
I see this “gerrymandering doesn’t impact X” from so many Americans. It’s a profoundly ignorant reductionist perspective, like they’re incapable of understanding cause and effect on even the most basic level.
It’s a hallmark of conservative narcissism, where they display zero empathy about anything unless it impacts them personally. It’s as though they’re incapable of imagination; of learning from any experience or perspective but their own.
I’m surprised you don’t have idiots replying to you while locked in a loop of saying “But Austin is libral though!” over and over.
We had a local place near me selling red “make weed gas again” hats. I’ve been in one time since and it has been completely dead during normally heavy traffic times.
Like these idiots don’t know or even cared what they voted for other than “I’m a dude, I can’t vote for a woman”
make weed gas again
I can’t figure out what this means
It means all the stuff they can buy under the farm bill isn’t very strong and they want the real stuff
“High grade”
I assume it means smoking the weed (turning it into gas).
Gas is a slang way to say it’s potent / strong.
Potent / strong (and especially fresh and not properly cured) weed can smell almost like Dow made it in a chemical plant in Jersey.
Diesel is a common descriptor for genetics
If they’re into biodiesel it could be turning hemp into fuel.
As a Canadian, I can’t believe how sad the US has become, and they’re regressing in freefall mode.
You ain’t seen nothing yet!
- Reaches into pants and grabs a massive mound of turd and then rubs it all over own face -
Yeah, you’re triggered now, you idiot. I’m so free!
- Coughs in sepsis -
New HHS guidance recommends against the term “sepsis”. We’re goin full humors now, boiiiiiii
You forgot to mention something about “woke” and “radical” something or other.
That’s Texas, it’s different.
Texas is the beta test for the rest of America.
One star, because it wouldn’t let us put zero.
Just change hotel to state
Man, when even weed money can’t move past your draconian and shitty religious doctrine. Conservatives are a plague on society’s progress.
I’ve got some mates who live in MN and you’re limited to 10mg edibles and drinkables, no regular Delta 9 bud, and weak solvent vape pens (no resin or rosin)
Their shitty republican neighbor state has real bud and more than 10mg consumables…
MN is almost there re:pot, but not quite!
MN is a state where businesses couldn’t sell alcohol on Sundays only until a couple of years ago. We’re weird about very specific things.
It’s perfectly understandable. A Minnesotan mustn’t be too joyful. “It could be worse” are the words for a Minnesotan to live by. Allowing alcohol on Sunday brings it uncomfortably close to “I’m doing great”
That’s just the hemp stuff. They just passed legal weed a couple of years ago and are still setting up the market but we should have dispensaries open this year.
I’ll believe it when I see it. They’re dragging their feet in a way that seems like malicious compliance.
The res near me (in Minnesota) has a fully legalized shop open now.
I live in the cities. I’m not driving that far for weed lol. I don’t even have a car.
It doesn’t help if you don’t have a car, but there is a tribe that opened (or is opening) a dispensary just outside the metro. Down by Welch village i think
That is good to know car or not. Thank you.
As of now my maye is pissed to have to go to Wisconsin to get real bud or real edibles.
Wisconsin does not allow weed sales.
That’s strange, I know someone who lives near the border and goes to WI to buy bud and 25mg drinks. I guess they’re imagining it
Is it hemp derived or recreational Marijuana?
Come to Michigan. Help us go from a swing state to a solid blue, and enjoy some of the cheapest high quality legal weed you can find.
Michigan dispensaries are the shit!
I was down in the US for a festival and made some Michigan friends who had the best dabs I’ve ever tried in my life.
Forest fam? 🙂
They made a shit show out of the licencing. First they sold permits, but then decided they were going to favor minorities in the licencing process. Royalty pissing off people who had already paid the huge fee. The new scheme got struck down in the courts. Now nobody knows what’s happening with it. Except the tribes, who are the only people able to commercially grow at the moment. Total shit show, a Minnesota classic.
But you can grow your own.
Playing games with people’s freedom. The freedom the people voted for.
And these are the so called “good guys?” Get fucked democrats, you find a way to fuck people over even when they vote to stop the fucking.
Well, it’s better than Texas.
Ofc it’s an MLtoid loser saying this shit. Piss off.
I live near a dispensary and they sell a lot more than that, I think it’s only hemp that’s restricted. Edibles and stuff you can buy the pound of you can swallow the taxes.
My mate has to go to WI to get 20mg+. No shot of getting at Minnesota and it fucking sucks that it takes all of her break to go get it
Not sure what to tell you, live near the IA border and people to south to get cheep cigarettes and people come north to get weed products. Only complaints people have is the half hour drive of corn fields.

May as well get used to the cold weather by moving north since we will have to run to Canada next.
That’s why Trump keeps talking about invading Canada
Easier to secede to Canada if you share a border
Why is Texas so communist? Freedom haters the lot of them.
Anyone still listening to JRE know what he thinks about it? I wonder if he went full hypocrite at this rate or still has some principles.
he went from weed to horse ROIDS.
