Could the influx of large amounts of cash, all over the country to start Marijuana farming and sale and distribution of it in incredible amounts be with Chinese financing? I always assumed it was Big Tobacco that was backing this effort so that they could take it over when the small mom and pop’s went out of business, but now I wonder how deeply the Chinese have infiltrated our society. I have no specific information to that effect but had someone doing work on my place propose that possibility to me.

The ongoing push to legalize recreational marijuana in all fifty states is a very clever juke move on the part of the progressive left.

For those who, like me, were unfamiliar with this arcane term, it refers to a deceptive maneuver played in an obscure game known as "American Football."

What’s legal isn’t necessary moral, and what’s moral is not necessarily legal. There are two types of crimes. It is important to know the difference between mala in se and mala prohibita.

I’m absolutely positive that China, and all our enemy nations, have infiltrated in the Trojan horse that is the Demonicratic Party.

Thanks. Word was missing in the source article copied. I’ll try to let Pastor Wilson know.

You cannot build a free republic out of drug addicts. You cannot maintain one with a citizenry of fornicating potheads.

Most of all, MAGA means restoring virtue among the people. There are a lot of people who missed Trump's main message.

I think cannabis and pornography should both be illegal. People can still find it and buy it on the black market but the rest of us don’t need to be exposed to it

by the way, GW Pharma Makes UK Biggest Medical Cannabis Exporter in the world

https://www.todayshealthscience.com/latest-news/the-uk-is-europes-largest-exporter-of-legalized-cannabis/

it is illegal in UK, and the owner of GW Pharma made sure it stays that way so that they have a monopoly in UK as the only entity allowed in UK to produce Medical Cannabis.

I’ll admit I spoiled one woman’s marijuana holiday yesterday. She was going to a bar and asked me, “Do you know what I’m celebrating?” Without hesitation I said, “Sure. Adolf Hitler’s birthday.” Which is true; Hitler was born on April 20, 1889.

Has anyone else on FR noticed that liberals tend to put their holidays on the birthdays of dictators? Earth Day (April 22) is also Lenin’s birthday, and the winter solstice (December 21) is Stalin’s birthday. I’m guessing that it won’t be long before Ho Chi Minh’s birthday (May 19) becomes a liberal holiday, too.

Don’t forget the propensity of evangelical potheads to preach their addiction to everyone around them. Very annoying.

And, as I learned in Vietnam, weed can cause psychotic breaks. Anyone who says otherwise is a liar.

Unless and until I deprive someone else of life, liberty, or property, anyone opinion or legislating on what I must or can’t do is a waste of otherwise good organs.

The best two paragraphs from the above article:

“You cannot build a free republic out of drug addicts. You cannot maintain one with a citizenry of fornicating potheads. You cannot do it with sex slaves. You cannot march into a free and prosperous future when all you can think about is the dopamine hit from your next porn click.”

“Why is the state spending all this effort to forge these liberty chains for us? It is because they don’t want a free republic of free men and free women. Docile subjects in a haze are more to their liking.”

Oh so now we have fornicating hippies....and just where in the Bible is that a crime to smoke pot?? Yet another attempt to control people’s actions that the author disagrees/dislikes. Drunks will get you killed....stoners will get you fat. Oh and somebody tell trump that he needs to restore his virtue....maybe stormy Daniels can help him with that😎.

The world has many more important issues to address than whether or not somebody is a sinner for smoking pot. How about China growing stronger every year and squashing democracy in Hong Kong.

Seems people always forget about Prohibition and how poorly it went. Speakeasies, mountaintop distilleries, organized crime specifically for alcohol.

So ignore weed and porn. Nobody is putting it in your face telling you to pay attention to it.

Why don’t you ask the people of many Colorado towns what they have been deprived of since pot has made their formerly pristine corners of society hellish haunts of derelicts.

The problem with you leftertarians is that you think everything is purely physical, being blissfully ignorant of the fact that some losses are intangible.
