How worthless is this legislature - they pass an anti-pot brownie bill

[RainDog]

with no problem but have to take unemployment insurance extension to two votes?

I am so glad they have their priorities in order.

Maybe next they can debate how many homeless people pets can dance on the head of a pin.

[villager]

1. well, uh, uh -- it's a good thing they're not Republicans! Right!?

I mean, imagine how pro-corporate, pro-prohibition, pro-war they'd...

Oh, never mind...

[tridim]

2. An anti-pot brownie FOR KIDS bill.

That fact is left out far too often.

I do agree that the bill was a waste of time in general.

[Greyhound]

3. Oh, you weren't joking?

[tridim]

5. The bill is directed at people with the "intent" of selling cannabis sweets to kids.

[Webster Green]

7. Yeah, that is a huge problem.

:rofl:

[RainDog]

8. un-fucking-believable, ain't it?

I mean, honestly. how can anyone defend such an asinine bill?

[tridim]

20. I never said it was a problem, and am not defending the bill

I'm also a legal MMJ patient who cosumes edibles occasionally, and will continue to do so legally.

Relax.

[TheWraith]

10. No, it's not. That is bullshit.

It gives pot-based baked goods double the penalty of regular pot. Kids have absolutely nothing to do with it, except in the bullshit rationalization of "Oh won't someone PLEASE think of the children!"

[Greyhound]

17. Right, cause there's no way that would ever evolve into anything abusive...

:wow:

[Warren DeMontague]

18. We have plenty of legal products for adults and we do just fine keeping them that way.

There is candy with alcohol in it, for fuck's sake. Personally, as someone who can't drink, I'd be much more worried about that shit, or desserts in fancy restaurants with brandy in them.

These brownies are for people like chemo patients who can't smoke the stuff.

22. Brownies are the gateway to fudge

Maybe you hippies think cookies and brownies are harmless enough, and maybe, back when Jerry Garcia was passing them out on Haight street and they weren't strong like they are today, you might have had a good argument; but even a tiedyed flower child will admit that fudge is the hard stuff, the stuff their friends don't come back from.

"it's as pure as anything I've seen outside a lab."
Gannon: Should get them really "far-out"
Friday: Yeah. All the way to the morgue.

[RainDog]

6. it is a stupid, stupid waste of time and attention

it's the sort of dumbass stunt politicians pull to show how hard on crime they are - for a situation that doesn't need one more law.

These polls make me want to throw up.

They could give a shit about REAL PROBLEMS.

This is not a real problem.

[patrice]

4. pa-fucking-thetic!!

ptui!!!

[flvegan]

9. Quite worthless. But sadly, we already knew that.

[Make7]

11. Congress is in the pocket of Betty Crocker. ( n/t )

[RainDog]

13. LOLOLOL!!! thank you for this!

smooches

12. Not only do we have a CO2 problem now, we have an O2 problem

as the carbonated world bubbles towards the boiling point, these assholes are nothing but a waste of oxygen.

[ixion]

14. Don't try and apply logic or rational thought to their actions.

There is none, at least as far as the Common Good or even Common Sense goes.

There is an agenda, to be sure, but it is not motivated by the what's best for We, the People.

[glitch]

15. We, the People are an object of derision to They, the Elite.

Or, to paraphrase one of their own: who cares what we think?

[RainDog]

16. brownies

public enemy no. one.

[kenny blankenship]

19. The United States is at war with terrorism and brownies.

The United States has always been at war with brownies.

[Unvanguard]

21. Someone should have forced a cloture vote on that nonsense.

Maybe then the Senate would get rid of the filibuster.
