Legit I don't think everybody should be using medicinal marijuana nor do I think it's beneficial for everybody.
I generally don't make it a part of my personality nor do I advertise it either.
There's pros and cons really do any kind of drug you take as long as you do it in moderation and in really keep a close eye on how much you're taking when you're taking it so forth it's really not an issue it's the over consumption that is also I don't have anything to contribute to the Uncle Joe shitfest so here's a guy talking about how Dick Cheney murdered a bunch of Mexicans

President Biden’s prime-time speech to call out former President Trump, his loyalists
WASHINGTON - Nearly two years after he defeated Donald Trump, President Joe Biden has some unfinished business he wants to to settle with the restive forces of Trumpism.
Biden planned to use a prime-time speech Thursday night at Independence Hall in Philadelphia to frame the November elections, less than 10 weeks away, as part of an ongoing battle for the “soul of the nation.” It's a reprise of his 2020 campaign theme that he is using now to cast the current stakes in as dire terms as those that sent him to the Oval Office two years ago.
Biden, who largely avoided even referring to “the former guy” by name during his first year in office, has grown increasingly vocal in calling out Trump personally. White House officials say that reflects the urgency with which he views the threat of Trump and his loyalists.
Feeling emboldened by a series of legislative wins, the president is sharpening his criticism of Republicans as the “ultra-MAGA” party — a reference to Trump’s “Make America Great Again” campaign slogan — that opposes his agenda, embraces conservative ideological proposals and spreads Trump’s false claims about the 2020 election.
“What we’re seeing now is either the beginning or the death knell of an extreme ‘MAGA’ philosophy,” Biden told Democrats at a Maryland fundraiser last week. “It’s not just Trump, it’s the entire philosophy that underpins the — I’m going to say something, it’s like semi-fascism.”
In Philadelphia, White House officials said, Biden intends to hark back to the 2017 white supremacist protest in Charlottesville, Virginia, which he says brought him out of political retirement to challenge Trump. Biden plans to argue that the country faces a similar crossroads in the coming months.
“The president thinks that there is an extremist threat to our democracy,” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Wednesday. “It's not stopping. It's continuing.”
Biden allies stressed that he was not rejecting the entirety of the GOP and would use his remarks to call on traditional Republicans to join him in condemning Trump and his followers. It's a balancing act, given that more than 74 million people voted for Trump in 2020.
“I respect conservative Republicans,” Biden said last week. “I don’t respect these MAGA Republicans.”
Larry Diamond, an expert on democracy and senior fellow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University, said calling Trump out for attacks on democracy "can be manipulated or framed as being partisan. And if you don’t call it out, you are shrinking from an important challenge in the defense of democracy.”
Even this week, Trump was posting on his beleaguered social media platform about overturning the 2020 election results and holding a new presidential election, which would violate the Constitution.
Timothy Naftali, a presidential historian at New York University, said it’s not unusual for there to be tension between a president and his successor, but it’s “unprecedented for a former president to be actively trying to undermine the U.S. Constitution.”
“The challenge that President Biden faces is to get on with his agenda while still doing what he needs to uphold the Constitution,” Naftali said. “That’s not easy.”
The White House has tried to keep Biden removed from the legal and political maelstrom surrounding the Department of Justice’s discovery of classified documents in Trump's Florida home. Biden has taken advantage of some Republicans’ reflexive condemnation of federal law enforcement.
“You can’t be pro-law enforcement and pro-insurrection,” Biden said Tuesday in Wilkes Barre, Pennsylvania.
Biden's appearance Thursday night was promoted as an official, taxpayer-funded event, a mark of how the president views defeating the Trump agenda as much as a policy aim as a political one. The major broadcast television networks were not expected to carry the address live.
House Republican leader Kevin McCarthy planned to speak Thursday afternoon in Scranton, Pennsylvania, where Biden was born, about “Biden's assault on the soul of America," accusing the president of planning to “continue to disparage hard-working Americans.” Previewing his remarks on Fox News, McCarthy, R-Calif., said Biden was “trying to distract from the disaster that he's created in this country.”
Biden's trip to Philadelphia will be one of three to the state within a week, a sign of Pennsylvania's importance in the midterms, with competitive Senate and governor's races. Trump plans a rally there this weekend.
The White House intended the speech to unite familiar themes: holding out bipartisan legislative wins on guns and infrastructure as evidence that democracies “can deliver,” pushing back on “extreme” GOP policies on guns and abortion that are out of step with most people's views, and rejecting efforts to undermine confidence in the nation’s election or diminish its standing abroad.
The challenges to democracy have only multiplied since the tumult surrounding the 2020 presidential election.
Lies surrounding that race have triggered a wave of harassment and death threats against state and local election officials and new restrictions on mail voting in Republican-dominated states. County election officials have faced pressure to ban the use of voting equipment, efforts generated by conspiracy theories that voting machines were somehow manipulated to steal the election.
Candidates who dispute Trump’s loss have been inspired to run for state and local election posts, promising to restore integrity to a system that has been undermined by false claims and conspiracy theories. Some have claimed widespread fraud and supported efforts to decertify Biden’s win.
There is no evidence of any widespread fraud or manipulation of voting machines. Judges, including ones appointed by Trump, dismissed dozens of lawsuits filed after the election and Trump’s own attorney general has called the claims bogus. Yet Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research polling has shown about two-thirds of Republicans say they do not think Biden was legitimately elected president in 2020.
This year, election officials face not only the threat of foreign interference but also ransomware, politically motivated hackers and insider threats. Over the past year, security breaches have been reported at a small number of local election offices in which authorities are investigating whether office staff improperly accessed or provided improper access to sensitive voting technology.

How desperate must the news media be for clicks and traffic, to be running an article about a speech that hasn't happened yet, but will happen in literally a matter of hours. Just wait for the damned speech before going off about this. For all we know he'll chant Nigger eight times and explode into a cloud of sentient flesh and blood, to depart this doomed world.

Is Biden really about to do Deplorables II: Electric Boogaloo?
And here he was up five points from disappearing for a month, lmfao

Even worse. Hillary called people reprehensible due to their character. Biden is about to go up and call 50% of the country "terrorists" for thinking wrong.

Same situation. It's really easy to just do 1 edible to take the edge off, but anything more than is usually only reserved for specific occasions. I get why there's discourse on both sides, and also see why people against it are against it. But I don't feel the need to "get high" every day, eat too much, and laugh at Beavis and Butthead every single day.
Imo, (besides alcohol or cig addiction I guess) stimulant addiction is a massively larger issue. Talking about why stimulants are so prevalent is a god damn book, but the fact that caffeine, nicotine, adderall, etc are essentially the norm as an professional adult to even function are concerning. Hell, they are basically encouraged if you want to "succeed".

I guess it wouldn't be a trademarked Biden Move if he wasn't doing a stupider version of some terrible idea that already fucked over a politician.
Reminder this is the man who thought the 1980's version of the Labour Party were a good source of rhetoric to steal from.
Being fair, stimulants did uplift our society from the medieval ages. Drinking coffee/tea every morning is going to make you more productive than starting the day off with a pint of ale.

Well Biden will probably set the stage to reject the results of the midterms and of course by extension the result of the 2024 election and to lay the ground work for the arrest of Trump.
It will probably go something like 'Republicans bad actors are now known to be actually interfering with the election process to upset the democratic process. Insert phony evidence here. Something something Orange Man Bad. So we as good Americans and defenders of TRUE DEMOCRACY will have to oversee the whole election process." Cue the MSM and tech boi's to start up the "combat misinformation" routine by churning out the propaganda and 'Biden kicks GoP oversight from election committee and why this is a good thing" articles and of course the now normal censorship of "misinformation" under the pretense of "Russian interference". A few days before the midterms they'll spring a surprise warrant on Trump for some stupid charge because if they wait until he declares his campaign for 2024 it will cause even more problems.
They've been prepping this for quite a while, at least the last 5 years, so lets see if the Dem's are ready to go all out and start declaring that Republicans are now "open fascists" and to "save our democracy" Trump must go to jail and anyone openly supporting him is now an enemy of democracy and subject to the new normal of social cancellation and open censorship of opposing opinions.
Will they go this far? Probably not honestly...at least not today.
Do they want too? Hell yes they do.
I've said it before but the current generation of Democrat policy makers are desperate, stupid and overconfident which is an absolutely nuclear combination of flaws to have when 30% of your populace believes your administration stole an election. In an environment already teetering on the edge we had our Potato in Chief publicly condemning anyone who didn't "vote the right way" and tonight he's probably going to push the rhetoric even further to desperately try to pump something into the midterms consequences to the unity of the country be damned.
Dark days lay ahead but on the plus side it's always nice to be part of history being made. I just hope that when the history books are written it's not a faggot tranny groomer who gets to do it.

They're trying to drum up traffic to it so they can point at viewership and claim it's widely viewed because most people hate Trump and the people who voted or will vote for him again.
This is what it looks like when you only have bad options.

Good to be back but gotta say, getting out in the fresh air on the back of a Harley rolling to the south side beaches and doing a lil hiking was good for the soul.
On topic: there's so many other things happening simultaneously with the market uncertainty, abysmal school performance, inflation (ofc), Ukraine ... do we think any of these will be addressed or will it all be Muh Democracy and how I am a big bad threat to it?

Has there ever been a time before when a President did a prime time speech to explicitly called his political opponents shit before an election? Presidents generally tried to not be overt in influcing the legislative branch. Endorse candidates they wanted sure, campaign for them, why not. This seems new
I don't even think Trump went that far did he? So much for "healing the divide in the country"

No, it's quite unprecedented (at least in modern times). It's funny, I luckily avoided relationships with any BPD chicks, but the Biden administration is doing it's damnedest to simulate the experience for me.

Trump definitely said some inflammatory shit in his time, but its hard for me to recall anything like this, more because whenever he did walk the middle ground of criticizing people, he was reported on as if he was actively committing a genocide. He definitely ragged on political opponents, but pretty sure the electorate itself was unflogged.

"He is a self-described progressive and socialist. Lumumba has also referred to himself as a political revolutionary."
"He is the son of former mayor and Black nationalist activist Chokwe Lumumba, who served briefly as mayor of Jackson before his death in 2014."
Communists don't know how to run things and actively fuck shit up, who'd have guessed?

Yea, but most of trumps inflamatory shit was in his rallies and talks to media. But a national addresses in prime time?
Its not the content, its the context that is surprising. I doubt the content will really be any worse than normal (for current day) political rhetoric, the prime time national address bit blows my mind. Like the memes about trump using the presidential texting thing to send everyone a "lock her up" text, it was just a meme.
