    Fear

    We all live in fear … fear that if we speak up, we’ll lose our job … fear that once we’ve spoken up, we’ll never be listened to again … fear that if we lose our job, we’ll never be hired again … fear that without work and income, we won’t be able to survive … fear that we will be ostracized by everyone if they don’t/won’t/can’t agree with us …

    … but most of all, fear that we will be destroyed by the judicial, police, security and legal system that is owned and controlled by those we try to rebel against

    … and greatest of all, we will be killed for speaking out too loudly and prominently

      But we got legal weed!!111 until they decide to make it illegal and throw us in jail if we don’t stay in line and keep working for our masters or a different nonsensical “because I say so” reason.

        I just want it to be legal so I can grow it at home for my friends. I don’t even particularly like the stuff.

          More US states have a legal weed option than not at this point. The ones where it isn’t legal are less likely to change since they’re all basically the regressive states.

            Yeah, I’m just interested in it as a plant science project. Since I wouldn’t even consume it personally, it’s not a risk I would take without it being explicitly legal at all levels. Until then I’ll just stick to my outdoor plants.
