No country of pot heads ever thrived
Uh… Dude doesn’t even know US history. Our biggest cultivated product pre-revolution was hemp. Several founding fathers, including Washington, cultivated and consumed cannabis. We are a country of pot heads. While the driving forces to ban it here were entirely because of racism and greed.
So Hamilton was probably a stoner? Cool!
“Give me the chronic, or give me death!”
- Patrick Henry probably.
Hamilton was a huge piece of shit.
I am not throwin’ away my pot! 🎵
High-five
Trump has never once in his life made an effort to know a single thing, and if there’s one thing he knows the least about, it’s the history of the country he leads.
Leads is doing a lot of heavy lifting there lol
I guess they might also want to revert back to the glory days when the nation was so consistently and pervasively drunk off its ass that prohibition actually passed.
Glad you posted it, cause I was about to

Fun fact Herodotus hot boxed with the Scythians.
The image was loading slow for me, but before it even loaded I knew what it said lol
Can’t have people getting high and start being introspective and caring about others
Can’t have people get high and start thinking
Honestly, it wasn’t that hard to get illegal marijuana. All this will do is cut tax revenue and increase crime.
Republicans don’t actually want to stop crime. They want to act like tough guys, punish those they don’t like and make sure their “team” can get away with crimes.
If anything, they REALLY want an “easy” crime to crack down on, so this is why they are making literally everything illegal, like porn and weed and having a penis in the wrong room or glancing at a cop without a smile on your face.
Well, now I’m gonna have some weed tonight just to spite them. I’m in Canada so they aren’t coming for mine…yet
It’s just a matter of time. Fascists are not kind to their neighbours.
Elbows up.
Glad you added the yet
Already there, in MI sadly so they can pry my bong from my cold dead hands.
Someone must have found out it contains benefits and brings good to the world. Better kill it!
I’d rather my kid smell marijuana than smell cigarettes.
I’d rather my kid grow up and smoke weed, then get blacked out on Whiskey. And I like whiskey.
“Our society thrived when everyone was smoking cigarettes and drinking whiskey,” wrote Daily Wire commentator Matt Walsh, completely ignoring the countless, well-documented, negative impacts (violence and death) of those two American vices. “We became the most powerful nation in the world with liquor and nicotine. No country of potheads has ever thrived, or ever achieved anything at all. Every city that legalized it became an even bigger shithole basically overnight. The entire history of western civilization tells us that marijuana is far, far worse for society.”
“Our society thrived when everyone was smoking cigarettes and drinking whiskey,”
Correlation vs causation.
You could say “we became the most powerful nation in the world with leaded gasoline and asbestos”. They were around at the same time too.
Got it, bring back huffing gasoline and smoking asbestos cigarettes.

Dumbest fucking take I’ve read regarding weed in the U.S. in probably the past two decades. This is another one of those things that’s like so low on the list of outrageous things that require attention right now, but it’s just so fucking unbelievably dumb that it somehow becomes salient enough to be noticable above the chaos that is the normal background.
The way he is so confidently trying to gaslight society like an overbearing parent, as if we have no frame of reference regarding marijuana policy other than what we learned in D.A.R.E.
Those shithole cities with their absurd abundance of tax revenue from marijuana sales.
Opioid sparing effects in Medicare enrollees with access to medical marijuana.
Fewer lives ruined due to a reduction of nonviolent incarceration rates.
I’m not sure what kind of utopia Matt Walsh believes he is advocating for by rolling back even more evidence based progress, but it sounds like a shithole.
He wants to go back to a “utopia” where it’s ok to beat your wife
~~Its ok ~~ It’s EXPECTED to beat your wife, how dare she get uppity??? /s
Yeah, it’s Matt Walsh of the Daily Wire. A dumb shit take is an achievement for that crowd.
Nah, a good take would be an achievement. Dumb shit takes is their bread and butter over in editorial land there.
I just mean that their average is well beneath dumbshit.
Oh I know I was just making a joke 😅
This is a fantastic way to get non violent citizens locked up in for profit prisons for years on the taxpayers dime where shareholders profit.
This. We are back on the hunt on behalf of for-profit prisons.
A guy at my work place swore that Trump was about to legalize pot
The 5 conservatives that actually give a shit about state’s rights are gonna be so pissed.
lol good luck. The supply chain is so big that the growers and supplies won’t go away any time soon or 10 years. You’re just being back 90s drug deals. I guess dumbass republicans hate money.
Dumb af, if MAGAts smoke enough weed they’ll forget that trump raped kids.
President Trump’s vaguely positive views on marijuana use and legalization have opened up yet another schism within the MAGA movement, as some hard-liners are reverting back to war on drugs–adjacent rhetoric to express their opposition to perhaps the most popular plant in America.
Last Friday it was reported that Trump told donors at an event that he is considering reclassifying marijuana from its current Schedule I level.
