More importantly, Ohio voted to protect reproductive rights!!! 👍
OK OK there are like 10 posts about that already, let us have our marijuana thread. 😉
First time I'm hearing about it 🤷
Was fairly tongue in cheek, but when I fired up kbin and hit the 12 hour filter (as is my usual) I think three or four of the top ten posts were about Ohio abortion rights. Had to dig further to find this one.
I'm not really grumpy about it being mentioned here though, just a playful early morning comment.
Yeah it's just that this headline was the only one I saw for a while, and I didn't see anyone mention it in the comments either! So I'm happy to spread the word. Glad to mention it here. Surely some people saw one or the other first, and we're gonna be shouting out in the streets.
My objection was not at all serious, sorry if it sounded that way!
Nope, not as important. Marijuana legalization affects the freedom of more citizens than access to abortion.
Both should be legal of course.
As a huge stoner, I'd say fewer broke families without the means to raise their children is a bit more important than legal weed.
