    It’s not uncommon for dictators to legalize psychoactive substances to keep the population placated.

      Let’s not throw cannabis under the bus because we’re miffed the Democrats were stupid enough to tee this easy win up for Trump and the Republicans. At best, cannabis being schedule I was illogical, and at worst it was a grave injustice that was used to prosecute and punish people for something relatively benign.

      I mean, I get it… I hate Trump’s stupid antidemocratic kiddy-diddling ass as much as the next sane person, but reclassifying weed was the lowest of low-hanging fruit that, for reasons I will never understand, the Democrats didn’t simply pick and instead let Trump take credit for it.
