A black market weed deal turned deadly. Another death entirely due to prohibition, but these absolute frauds blame weed.
Man from Colorado got killed trying to buy marijuana.

One thing I’m thankful for — by engaging in Ohio politics this year, I have found the @rooster_ohio, who is a great source for news in America’s 7th most populous state.

This guy concedes that the prohibition of cannabis does in fact trample on the Constitution — but only because of guns
@jimhigdon @BuenoForMiami @JesseHughesNC Right so if the law against weed is on the books and the officer smells weed coming from a car, for example, that is not an unreasonable search. As for the point about the fifth amendment, I'll cede that point.

“I self educated actually” pretty much clenches this.
@jimhigdon @BuenoForMiami @JesseHughesNC As for the 9th and 10th, you really don't have a point with either one unless with the 10th you want to argue that the decision should be left to the individual states. With the 14th amendment, it's a stretch. The text of that amendment just garuntees equal protection under the

"Self evident to everyone but you, apparently" is killing me, lmaooo cooked
@isaiahplafone @BuenoForMiami @JesseHughesNC 9th Amendment— unenumerated rights are retained by the people: this should be self-evident to everyone but you, apparently 10th Amendment— regulating intrastate commerce is not the role of the federal government 14th Amendment— equal protection clause.

Among the @HempRoundtable regulatory priorities: -raise federal floor to 5 mg THC -ban synthetic cannabinoids -extend the moratorium from 1 to 2 years -avoid carving out any one particular form factor https://t.co/wb6c75s5xL

“This is an extinction level event for the CBD products industry, and the greater hemp and hemp beverage industry,” says Jim Higdon of @CornbreadHemp. “If we can’t stop it, and we don’t pivot, it will destroy our business.”

@HammanShares Jim Higdon,Cornbread Hemp, said the Senate summary describing the bill as preserving the legality of non-intoxicating CBD products is a “lie.” The “0.4mg limit will make 100 percent of products illegal, including our full spectrum CBD products, topical CBD products,and even oils

Politics is the art of what's possible
@lukasgilkey @MikeGThompson @cantripguy No. It’s because we are talking with key members of the House and Senate and understand what’s possible in a Republican-controlled Congress. Y’all, on the other hand, are not doing your homework.

@HometownHeroATX Best way to lose a political fight: infighting instead of taking a consensus deal to the Lege. 2d best way: dishonesty.

Rand - who might be the least “nasty” person in DC, was elected 6 years before POTUS was, and won re-election by 25 points. He votes 90 percent with his party and the other ten percent it’s because they’re spending to much or taking your freedom. Literally nothing in that
President Trump goes after Sen. Rand Paul calling him a “nasty liddle guy”
