It's insane to me as a Canadian that thc is a controlled substance elsewhere. It's been legal ten years here and has caused literally zero problems.
Texas just made it so you go to jail for having an eighth lmao
Insane country.
On the plus side it is rectifying the issue of being a country. Lets all hope we weather the change.
Never seen a better way to put it.
True, but our home defense laws are super fucked so it balances out.
Idk. Smoking weed is way more relevant to my life than home defense tbh lol I've never needed to defend shit
Presumably you live somewhere, and home invasions are on the rise, and it's not just about "defending" your property, it's about losing your sense of safety in your home because defending yourself will land you in court (as they say, "charge them all and let the courts figure it out") where you have to defend yourself once again (unless it gets thrown out before trial).
It's very fucked up.
