I'd personally just cut it up into even looking squares and call it good. I'm not really going to care if I get 18mg in one brownie and 22mg in another. Crumbling it all up kind of ruins the appeal of having a brownie to begin with.

Yeah it hasn't even been 5 years since this shit happened during COVID and people can't remember how ridiculous it was back then. How much toilet paper is even being shipped here from overseas and not manufactured using the billions of trees we have here in North America? Shit like this, or people panic buying gasoline and filling up trash bags with it, gives me a little bit of insight as to why the ruling class treats us like cattle.

Yes, this is quite obvious.

I'm sorry, but if you can't accept legalization of cannabis without a public apology, I would say "letting the perfect be the enemy of the good" is exactly the right phrase to use.

Here you, in an incredibly condescending tone, are stating that legalization is a forgone conclusion based on nothing more than a campaign promise. People are pointing out examples where her actions contradict said campaign promise, which is why they have a hard time believing it. Candidates make false campaign promises all the time, so I can't see why you're attacking people for not falling for it the 100th time. Talk is cheap.

That's what a different user said not the top-level commentor, which is who you were replying to when I replied to you here (though I made a separate reply to you in a different chain so I understand the confusion).

It would've been cool if she said this when she was actively putting people in cages for weed.

It would've been cool if she said this for the past 4 years while she was VP.

Now she's saying it for an election. I'm sure she's legit this time. lol.

How dare someone change their mind! We should definitely teach her a lesson she won't forget and be amongst the 3000 people who who vote for Cornel West in November!

I didn't say I expected her to legalize it right now nor am i looking for an apology. You're mocking the other poster and claiming "she's changed her mind" without any evidence apart from a basic statement from her that could prove to be completely false for all we know (which was the whole point of their comment).

There's no indication that legalization is happening. What we've gotten is a simple statement that may or may not be true.

And western Europe and the Middle East

This is such a ridiculous expression and I wish people would quit using it to shut down valid criticism and justify inaction from our leaders.

You see a homeless guy starving on the sidewalk and give him a penny to go buy food. It's obviously not enough to buy anything and he objects, but you tell him "don't let perfect be the enemy of good. You should be thankful for what I've given you."

Rapist Brock Turner rapes a girl behind a dumpster at school. He's given probation for the crime. "Don't let perfect be the enemy of good. Be thankful that he's being punished for his crime."

Trump passes his tax bill in 2018 giving permanent cuts to wealthy individuals while middle and lower classes get a temporary cut along with the removal of some credits and caps on SALT deductions. This widens the income inequality in our country but since we got a couple of years of lower tax bills, "don't let perfect be the enemy of good..."

Just stop it.

How can you make the claim that she changed her mind? Believe actions not words regardless of who it's coming from.

I think 40 states have medical and 25 have recreational. It's insane that it's even a question about federal legalization at this point.

[–] ShepherdPie@midwest.social 0 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah I view these statements more as "I'm going to tell you what you want to hear so you'll elect me!"

Not if those terms weren't in the original ToS agreement.
