Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Frankly, fuck the "industry leaders" it used to be a bunch of small time to MAYBE medium sized owners, now it's a bunch of corporate bastards at the top (the so called industry leaders) like so many other industries

I bet they're all pissy because they aren't getting their demands that probably have something to do like making it harder for small time people to get in on the industry

Bro they just want to be able to use basic banking shit and not have threat of federal raids supercede their states authority.

Yes, that's what everyone wants, but the "industry leaders" are now multi-billion dollar companies

Guaranteed they also want subtle language in any such bills to make things harder for the average joe to break into the industry. That's what they do, latch on to common things people want and twist things to benefit them

The industry can fuck off then. Do we really need to go into how the GOP feels about marijuana legalization?

[–] phoneymouse@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It’s weird to me that the tobacco companies hadn’t managed to bribe the GOP into legalization of marijuana a couple decades ago or more as smoking cigarettes became a taboo.

Weed is cheap, less addictive (physically at least) and a lot easier to grow yourself. While they'll move over when the writing is on the wall I think they'd rather stick with child friendly bubblegum flavored tobacco vapes.
