Matt Walsh talks about whiskey so performatively I don’t think he actually likes it.
Also legalize pot to the same degree as alcohol and create a sustained treatment category of schedule 2 while you’re at it.
That’s what the article says Trump is considering doing
The image was loading slow for me, but before it even loaded I knew what it said lol
Someone must have found out it contains benefits and brings good to the world. Better kill it!
Dumb af, if MAGAts smoke enough weed they’ll forget that trump raped kids.

That’s OK the illegal kind is still better
Nah fuck that. Illegal pot kinda sucks and forces you to hang out with pot dealers which is such a coin flip. But regardless it’s still way better to just swing by a shop and pick up a thing of edibles to keep around.
You just need better people to get it from. I don’t deal with sketchy people.
Cool, but sometimes I just want pot. Like, best case scenario dealers have been women I occasionally hit up for weed and occasionally hit up for sex, which was pretty great in my early-mid 20s, at which point I’d get whatever they had to offer (their favorite bud, or maybe edibles from Michigan). It was pleasant but it was a whole ass thing and usually I had to buy in small quantities.
I’m in my 30s now, everywhere I’ve lived recently has had fully legal pot. It’s a minor errand no different from when I notice I’m a bit low on whiskey. Thanks to the legality and ease of purchase I just keep some on hand as a general analgesic for me and sleep aid for my wife. Also I don’t have to go find dealers anymore which is nice.
Not if you’re black or have a disease that needs it and you’re in a prison cell
“Our society thrived when everyone was smoking cigarettes and drinking whiskey,” wrote Daily Wire commentator Matt Walsh, completely ignoring the countless, well-documented, negative impacts (violence and death) of those two American vices. “We became the most powerful nation in the world with liquor and nicotine. No country of potheads has ever thrived, or ever achieved anything at all. Every city that legalized it became an even bigger shithole basically overnight. The entire history of western civilization tells us that marijuana is far, far worse for society.”
“Our society thrived when everyone was smoking cigarettes and drinking whiskey,”
Correlation vs causation.
You could say “we became the most powerful nation in the world with leaded gasoline and asbestos”. They were around at the same time too.
Honestly, those aren’t that much crazier than thinking smoking and drinking are somehow good for you. If this goes on, it’s only a matter of time.
I, for one, would encourage anyone who believes that kind of drivel to drink as much whiskey as is possible. The sooner they check out the better
We ran a simulation of this up here in Nova Scotia before. Here are some of the results.
Got it, bring back huffing gasoline and smoking asbestos cigarettes.
Zero thought involved. Remember that time we outlawed booze?
Combine it with this quote:
Far-right conspiracy theorist Jack Posobiec called people smoking weed outside a “huge factor” in violent crime in Washington, D.C. “States with legal weed you can just smell it all over in public,” he continued. “Can’t take kids anywhere.”
Because everything was so great when there was a nicotine haze in every restaurant. I don’t even like the smell of burning a joint, but I’ll take it over shitty cigarettes.
I do admit that a good cigar can smell really nice. But I have a family history of asthma as it is, and there’s no way I’m touching one.
Well, now I’m gonna have some weed tonight just to spite them. I’m in Canada so they aren’t coming for mine…yet
Already there, in MI sadly so they can pry my bong from my cold dead hands.
Glad you added the yet
It’s just a matter of time. Fascists are not kind to their neighbours.
Elbows up.
Can’t have people getting high and start being introspective and caring about others
Can’t have people get high and start thinking
Ngl I smoke pot to stop thinking, not start it.
I use weed to not feel as much emotion while I think things through. It does sometimes distort my thinking though
As the article states, Trump is considering rescheduling marijuana making it easier to sell. It’s the right wing influencers who oppose it. The GOP politicians love weed because it makes people apathetic and sit out elections
Man, there’s some biases in there you should probably unpack.

Yeah sure he is.
There’s surely enough to share, right?
No shit, it’s a fantastic excuse to arrest and detain/deport people for holding plants while you’re out there obliterating 4th amendment rights.
This is a fantastic way to get non violent citizens locked up in for profit prisons for years on the taxpayers dime where shareholders profit.
This. We are back on the hunt on behalf of for-profit prisons.
President Trump’s vaguely positive views on marijuana use and legalization have opened up yet another schism within the MAGA movement, as some hard-liners are reverting back to war on drugs–adjacent rhetoric to express their opposition to perhaps the most popular plant in America.
Last Friday it was reported that Trump told donors at an event that he is considering reclassifying marijuana from its current Schedule I level.
lol good luck. The supply chain is so big that the growers and supplies won’t go away any time soon or 10 years. You’re just being back 90s drug deals. I guess dumbass republicans hate money.
No country of pot heads ever thrived
Uh… Dude doesn’t even know US history. Our biggest cultivated product pre-revolution was hemp. Several founding fathers, including Washington, cultivated and consumed cannabis. We are a country of pot heads. While the driving forces to ban it here were entirely because of racism and greed.
Glad you posted it, cause I was about to

Trump has never once in his life made an effort to know a single thing, and if there’s one thing he knows the least about, it’s the history of the country he leads.
Leads is doing a lot of heavy lifting there lol
I guess they might also want to revert back to the glory days when the nation was so consistently and pervasively drunk off its ass that prohibition actually passed.
So Hamilton was probably a stoner? Cool!
Hamilton was a huge piece of shit.
I mean all the founders were.
Thomas Paine was pretty cool
I am not throwin’ away my pot! 🎵
High-five

Fun fact Herodotus hot boxed with the Scythians.
Does this person have a child? That child won’t make it as an adult because they’ve historically never made it as an adult :3
