Current discussion on the OT

I voted for Landry and my Representative, Kim Carver. SB237 is expected to pass with little opposition. What’s your take on this? I thought our MAGA party was all about small government and freedom?

Surprisingly, its President Skelator who’s the only one working to protect our freedoms on this issue -> LINK

First rule of politics- every politician sucks arse. Some suck a little bit less, however.

You’re obviously getting beat up for your views, but you’re 100% correct. People downvoting you are only doing it because they’re not big fans of pot or CBD/hemp products. I’m really not either, but I’m a fan of personal freedom, and the Republicans voting for this bill should be kicked out of office for expanding their power and reach. Let’s be consistent people. Either we want government dictating our lives, or we don’t

I agree marijuana has been vilified needlessly for decades.
But how it's classified or whether it's legalized or not will never be the reason I vote for or against a candidate. And I have used it off and on for 40 yrs. This country has far greater concerns in 2024.

Sure, let's legislatively take action against a chemical that has killed very few people. Meanwhile government fastracks chemicals with much less research that they want you to inject into your veins because they are scared of a pandemic. GTFO of here with that.

This doesn't mean anarchy. Legalization has not proven to be a positive for society anywhere it has been done. Sometimes adults need to be mature and not let emotional "feel good" wants take over logical decisions.

Btw - being an adult stoner older than 30 isn't as Kool as yo think maaaann. Grow up.

People who are single issue voters about, or worse, formulate their political stances around being able to smoke cannabis are fricking losers.

I used to be for legalization but I’m tired of smelling weed everywhere I go. If I cant have the freedom to enjoy weed-free air and highways free of stoned drivers then frick it, I’ll vote to keep pot illegal.

I just want legislation to fix problems. This is not a problem. It is busy work.

No.

Conservatives are all about small government and freedom.

MAGA is not conservative and does not follow any such principles. Some agendas will dovetail with ones that a conservative will hold, but that's purely coincidental and could change at any time.

Conservatism is pretty much dead. MAGA is not conservative and neither are most non-MAGA Republicans.

And it should come as no surprise, really. People in the mid-1770s (who were actual conservatives) conceptualizing our system could not possibly have imagined the size of government in 2024 America.

Anyone who thinks our gargantuan system can be overcome with as much inertia as it has behind it, I have a bridge I'd like to sell you.

Government serves government interests. They've decided that it would be better for the government to suppress the product named in the bill, so they will.

Yep. Jeff Landry and his crew worried about all these horseshite, social conservative issues, like the Lady Tigers being on the court for the anthem, or banning this evil hemp so we can protect our children while calling this the THC is not King Bill, which is basically saying we’re protecting the alcohol lobbyists lol. Can’t forget the bill that was pushed and just recently pulled, because of all the backlash they got, trying to hide state government information from the public.

We have a real winner here guys! This state will finally change for the better under Landry’s rule right?

Louisiana can't get rid of inspection stickers because they don't want to lose the $10 per car per year ($20 in some parishes) of revenue, but then turns around and bans a product that is subject to sales tax and not causing harm. How about add a cigarette style stamp to it, charge 50 cents per stamp and do away with inspection stickers?

My take?

I am shocked so many here are bleeding from their vaginas about god damn d8/cbd edibles.

If you are addicted to weed like a fricking teenager then find yourself a hookup or drive your lazy arse to the next state over and stock up.

Spending money on gas station fake weed novelty items is as trashy as smoking Newports, buying lottery tickets, being fat, and chopping your sons cock off.

Also, maybe now some of you losers will realize that your GOPe cucks will rape you just as hard as the commies on the left.

Not sure what maga has to do with this. Did your daddy beat you as a child?
