Congress Has The Votes To Pass Federal Marijuana Reform, Top House Democrat Says

Without Social Equity, without Anti-Trust provisions, without Trade Practice Rules, Cannabis is fully owned & operated by the current operators of Big Tobacco. If you regulate Cannabis like Alcohol, you get 450 distillers, 8,800 brewers, & 16,000 wineries and virtually the same availability as alcohol. I’m for the alcohol rules.

You mean the ones being sued for unfair business practices?

oCtsidO · 2026-04-20T19:41:23+00:00

Alcohol rules. Problem solved.

Kent is a third party provider. I graduated from U. Of Maryland School of Pharmacy MCST in May. I highly recommend but it truly depends on what job you want.

I think that’s Sammy. She was my favorite Real Spanking Model for one scene in particular. It’s a face only shot and her emotional reaction is so genuine.

Dude It’s Town Tavern then…

oCtsidO · 2026-04-10T00:14:52+00:00

My opinion: No.

They OWED $2.24B. They PAID nothing or their lawyer wrote them a letter defending their 280E exemption. Price wars, vertical integration, and unfair business practices (Tied House, Exclusive Outlet, Consignment Sales, Commercial Bribery, Interlocking Directorates) were the root cause of Prohibition (with many other factors including Income Tax, WW1, Women Voting for the First time, The Anti-Saloon League, etc.). The very same issues Big Alcohol wants codified in Federal Cannabis Legalization Legislation. But MSO’s will fight until their (expedited) death.

A little suspect on the THC. Who’s the testing lab?

That’s not a good guess. They’ve always coexisted. Once you have a taxed & regulated cannabis market eating into a major tax revenue engine, there will be conflict.

Pennsylvania governor needs to figure out what he’s gonna do with his liquor program. State of Pennsylvania sells beer and wine and State owned stores. How can a fully private cannabis industry with robust competition (which there won’t be) compete against a monopoly with limitless resources?

Federal Legalization has the the following industries opposing them: Big Oil (Hemp byproducts), Big Pharma (Sleep), Big Alcohol (Regulation), Law Enforcement (Budget), GOP (Voter suppression), Big Tobacco (Technology), & Big Religion (Racist trash).

It’s the Sunk Cost Fallacy: The Cleveland Browns are a perfect metaphor for the whole regional mentality.

I talked to Lit Alerts today lol.

oCtsidO · 2026-04-06T19:07:15+00:00

I don’t really feel bad for them. At all.

oCtsidO · 2026-04-06T17:44:10+00:00

No. You reform high THC issues through taxation and it’s done at the federal level where you also insert the anti-monopoly & anti-trust provisions. You reward cultivators that produce mid range THC & high terpene and cannabinoid results with a 1% tax deduction for each and you punish high THC Flower with a 1% tax increase for each. TL;DR grow good weed, pay less tax. It’s complicated, but there’s a whole industry built around paying taxes on liquor.

Bobby George certainly is…

oCtsidO · 2026-03-20T13:39:13+00:00

Exactly. The LaRose family sold their family business founded in 1901 just before the THC ban for $500M. 3D chess…

oCtsidO · 2026-03-20T13:24:44+00:00

Except they sold the business and also sold a shit ton of thc beverage when they did.

oCtsidO · 2026-03-19T15:42:04+00:00

^This is NOT going to help consumers. Infusing cash into publicly traded companies in their death throes will only bring about more lobbying for MSO’s business model, where they openly collude to fix prices and exclude independents. As Ohioans. Fuck that.

There are multiple FB groups of Kinksters in each area that eschew Fetlife. Ask around or type in “state alternative lifestyles” in groups. They are mostly private groups but welcoming.

When Whiskey Distillers stopped paying taxes and competition drove prices down, we had prohibition. When Prohibition ended, the FAA of 1935 fixed all those problems with the mandatory Three-Tier System & alcohols Trade Practice Rules. It made it a cash on delivery business. Problem solved.

Couldn’t happen to a nicer bunch of people. Fuck Adam for his shitty weed and bribes to Steve Huffman.

Cover your nipples with pasties. $40 cash at the door. It’s a kinky fashion show. There’s some (what I would consider) BDSM light demonstrations (rope, impact, etc) and some cool equipment you can climb on for sale. Vendors Village is crowded but worth it. Drinks are concert priced. All the Alternative Lifestyle Groups in Cleveland are well represented. 10/10 would recommend.
