It's pretty incredible to me that even CBD was banned for so long. It's basically harmless -- may help with pain and anxiety. Obviously, it's not perfect or a cure, but there are many OTC drugs that are more dangerous.
Marijuana is not the same as a "street drug". It is safe, non-addictive, and the law makes purchases of it in designated stores legal but highly taxed. The only reason the governor is legalizing it all is that the state needs money. The weed dealers will have to sell it cheaper than the shops or go out of business.
A street drug is any drug sold on the street illegally. Marijuana is a street drug, just one that shouldn't be.
I am hoping that there will still be underground dealers, with better prices, and to no business tax.
Both parties do this... Elaine Chao (Mitch McConnell's Wife) worked for Turnip as Sec. of Transportation:
Absolutely but it's still newsworthy since it could have serious consequences in Washington. This could potentially give Biden some massive leverage over Manchin, which is desperately needed if he wants to get stuff done.
As far as you know/what's been reported.
Keeping your knee on a person's neck for nine minutes should not be regular police procedure. It doesn't matter that he had a record, you can't kill him like that. We live in a country where you're judged by a jury, not a power hungry cop.
I agree 100%. Wrestling matches are for the WWF, not the police and suspects. They should have just clocked him with a billy club if he was uncooperative during the arrest, but I suspect that they are not allowed to do this anymore.
Why not just taze the guy or use a stun gun? Those methods seem a lot more safe than a club to the head. You could seriously fuck someone up by doing that.
Can we at least get the easy ones right? I've said in the past that sometimes these situations are tricky from the police officer's perspective. I don't see how the Derek Chauvin case could be all that complicated.
For real man, you are totally right. If he gets off, it really means that police officers are just simply above the law. This is a slam dunk case. We have witnesses and a video of it happening. If he gets off because the guy had Fentanyl in his system, then that's just a fucking joke.
The guy had a heart condition. I think that 50,000 volts of electricity would have been far more dangerous to a man of his size, with drugs in his system and a heart condition, than a well-executed billy club to the back of the head by a trained police officer.
Not sure if this counts as a "thought", but I find the situation hilarious because Gaetz is such a vile POS, quaking in his boots as the chickens come home to roost. I'm not sure there has ever been anyone as deserving of being thrown under the bus as Gaetz is. And his pimp Joel Greenberg looks exactly like the man for that job.
It sorta is still, but it's really loose at this point. Matt Gaetz was elected in 2020 but will obviously lose office if convicted of sex trafficking a minor.
To anyone who would in seriousness make the argument that 17 and 18 is not "that much different", that argument *definitely* doesn't apply when you are sex trafficking girls across state and national borders.
It's not legal to sex traffic minors in DC or anywhere else (though the charges state he trafficked minors for sex from Florida to the Bahamas, not from DC). Has nothing to do with the "age of consent."
