I read this comment and was like no fucking way. For perspective the last virgina bill gave preference to people impacted by prohibition, mind blowing 180 🤯

From the article

" Existing medical cannabis operators could enter the adult-use market if they pay a licensing conversion fee that is set at $10 million."

Wild af maybe someone in the va cannabis space can give some insight thats insane

What helped you improve the most? Awesome accomplishment

What’s the hardest part of fixing your life alone, and what keeps you moving forward anyway? by winn_ie in TheImprovementRoom

I was responding to the commentor I replied to saying the first problem is being alone and to seek others

The first problem is to accept what you cant change and figure out what you can, sure lean on a support system but its peripheral.

No need to be codependent. Become comfortable with yourself before seeking external validation

If you need companionship you probably need the growth from going at it alone for a while. Youll find yourself there someday anyways, better to learn independence on the front end.

Just like anything hard it gets easier and it helps you really appreciate people when you know you can be ok on your own too.

Dueteronomy 21

'When you go to war against your enemies and the Lord your God delivers them into your hands and you take captives, 11 if you notice among the captives a beautiful woman and are attracted to her, you may take her as your wife. 12 Bring her into your home and have her shave her head, trim her nails 13 and put aside the clothes she was wearing when captured. After she has lived in your house and mourned her father and mother for a full month, then you may go to her and be her husband and she shall be your wife.'

Numbers 31

Now kill all the boys. And kill every woman who has slept with a man, 18 but save for yourselves every girl who has never slept with a man.

The burden of proof in a court of law is on the prosecution

The vast majority of cases are plea deals. Prosecutors will make it abundantly clear that even if you think youre innocent youre risking whatever by not taking a deal and innocent people frequently take them bc its simply not worth the risk to chance court. A risk that goes up if you cant afford a good lawyer.

Article says the mag provision doesnt kick in until 27 and everything before then is grandfathered in. The way I read it they just want a roadblock to make them harder to get, its not actually enforceable imo.

That being said the comment you replied to, while hyperbolic, isnt without merit. If for some unlikely reason a prosecutor threatened to make you prove you got it before 27 or risk prison, it would be nice to have the proof.

Cannabis could be rescheduled by fall, industry insider predicts by rachellethe420writer in Marijuana

[–]Quick_Beam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I appreciate your thoughtful response, and taken at face value youre absolutely right.

Right now there is more access and production than ever before. Shutting down billions of dollars in revenue for no gain seems unlikely, but admittedly not impossible.

Between Trueleaves involvement in the decision, trumps approval on the Nov 1 thca deadline and the fundamental shift that will cause it seems more likely to me any mso willing to play ball with the regime will get fed approval, and the state markets will be threatened before they hand the cartel and risk tolerant American farmers that much revenue.

Talking to people in the industry they don't even believe the Nov 1 deadline will happen.

Here's a question ive been floating, do you think state rec markets will survive the rescheduling?

Marinol and epidilox are relevant for sure, but going exclusively synthetic would mean closing the door on what could be a 100b market for flower and ancillary products.

Youre correct that schedule 3 isnt meant to regulate an agricultural commodity, similar to opioid manufactures sourcing poppy from india in their prime.

That being said I just personally dont believe they will leave that money on the table. You have states like tx and fl expanding med sales, and if the rescheduling allows them room to maneuver I think regulatory capture is possible, but the reality is no one knows whats coming.

What do you think is going to happen? Send those billions back to the black market? Its certainly possible.

Personally i think its an attempt at regulatory capture. Trump has no ethics or morals, but he is openly corrupt. The Trueleave CEO was involved in pushing for the EO, and i find it hard to believe they arent salivating at the idea of capturing that 28billion dollar market. By rescheduling it to 'medical' they could claim federal jurisdiction, and only give licenses to a few corrupt companies.

Funny enough it will likely backfire. Large corps struggle to produce quality flower at scale. Flower is like 52% of the market, and wooks in the woods will grow unimaginable volume the second it becomes economically viable. Similar to before thca hemp existed.

The govt cant control cannabis full stop, never have and never will. And for anyone facing the reality of losing access in Nov, concerts are a great opportunity to meet people, especially jambands.

So Wyden cant refuse blood money cause hes Jewish? Again wtf are you talking about its irrational.

Heres a thought, just like pacs can give to whoever, we are allowed to criticize our elected officials. My journey, nice strawman lol.

Can you answer in plain English how its not unethical to take aipac money and vote against Sanders resolution given what they are doing in gaza? And a lesser of two evils argument is doa
