"Oh, damn, no government today. America's a lawless wasteland now. I'll just go back to bed and smoke a Mary now. No laws against Mary Jane anymore. Green Day."
Shit like this on Tumblr.
How do I federal law?
I mean, Washington has legalized recreational marijuana, but what people forget is that it's still technically illegal here under federal law. It's just that the federal government has decided to stop enforcing it here for now. If they choose to enforce that law again, then they can trump state law because federal law is superior.
The next person to bring up GMO or weed while others are discussing the Shutdown will get milk tea in their face. Like can you focus on the topic that's at hand? I swear, there is a time and place for those discussion, but people feel the need to bring them up everywhere.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
"Weed" bolded because I see more of that than on Genetically Modified Foods, in fact I've seen nothing on GMOs yet.
I've noticed that a lot of "messianic potheads," as I like to call them, derail practically all political conversations into the War on Drugs and weed. These people also tend to defend weed like it's just a harmless herb, like it's broccoli or something. Or they advertise how much they smoke weed everywhere because they want to show the Man (TM) how rebellious they are.
I have to admit I'm a bit biased toward weed and people who smoke it.
As for anti-GMO people on Tumblr, these tend to be the same gullible idiots who reblog shit about how radiation from Fukushima is supposedly reaching the West Coast of the US, how you can stop the police from following you by dialing a certain number, and think MLK was assassinated by the US government (and have dubious conspiracy theorist blog sources to back it up).
